Hi, I'm trying to get my ISA modem to work on CentOS 4.4, but I am having trouble. I have a stock installation of the CentOS 4.4, and did a yum upgrade to ensure everything is the latest, however, I can't seem to detect or see the ISA modem. I remember back in the 2.2 kernel days, the need for isapnptools, however, from what I read that is supposed to already be included in the 2.6 kernel. When I check the /proc directory, I don't see a /proc/isa or /proc/isapnp that I would have expected to find. I am relatively sure that the modem is a real modem (not a winmodem), but I don't understand why I can't even seem to locate it anywhere. I have manually set the jumpers on the modem to Com1, but that hasn't helped any either. Is the stock 2.6.9-42.EL kernel compiled with ISA support? Do i need to rebuild the kernel by hand? Is there anything I need to do to enable ISA support in CentOS4.4? If I do need to rebuild the kernel, what Thanks! Eric

If I do need to rebuild the kernel, whatNope. The kernel was built without isa support. There was a mailing list thread a while back (the exactly link escapes me) which explained how to rebuild with ISA support specifically, however the wiki (wiki.centos.org) contains the steps needed to build a custom kernel. Support for ISA may have been built into the centosplus kernel by Johnny, but I honestly can't remember if he did that or not. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

If I do need to rebuild the kernel, what packages must I ensure are installed? I have installed the kernel-devel package thru yum, but that doesn't seem to be enough - I am getting compilation errors both on a make clean, and a make bzImage or make rpm. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Eric
