Linux gets stuck during boot time


I tried to install a modem. I installed a special driver so that my 'winmodem' will work as a 'linmodem'. I did all that and then I checked the option to enable the modem at start-up. However, when the startup process comes to the point where it has to enable the modem, it gets stuck and this way It never finishes the boot. I tried to phisicly remove the modem. Then through the hardware wizard I removed configuration for the modem, but it still does the same thing.
Can I fix that somehow without re-installing the whole thing?
Thanks for your help and time
Martin

use the "dmesg" command to see what the problem is. see what the kernel is trying to do maybe looking for a file or trying to load a module or something. find and maybe you can install the module
