hi..in my laptop presario 2100 i install linux redhat 9.0 the modem didnot find by redhat so i put them generic and click onto the boot..when bootloader grup start it show all boot loader when they come to ppp0 my laptop hang didnot work...so pls tell command line grup so i can put blocklist modem ppp0...thanks

do you mean 56k modem? windows modem or linux modem?

At desktop did you configure your modem properly?
If it is dial up make sure it is set for correct com port and 57600 baud rate.
If you have internal modem and still does not work it may be a winmodem
(for windows only). Try using an external modem.

Hope this helps

it is internal 56k modem of my compaq notbook presario 2100 ,i use redhat 9.0 default detect...my problem is that i cant install my modem in redhat i click on check bootloader..when grup is start and i select redhat when redhat say ok ok in all thing when they come in etho so it say failed when it come ppp0 it stop process not come written failed and my computer is stop working ..so pls tell command in grup so i can off my ppp0 in bootload..

hmmm.. it's kinda difficult to tell.

the only thing i know if you want to disable ppp is that you must add the name of the module to /etc/hotplug.d/blacklist. that's if you're using hotplug.

example ppp_generic, ppp_sync, ppp_async

you can do '>>' is important here. don't do a single '>'

if you compiled the ppp driver as a kernel built-in try compiling it as a module first.

there should be some other ways too like adding a kernel paramater to disable ppp. that should disable the driver even if it's built in the kernel. i haven't found a kernel parameter to disable ppp yet though.

PS. i hope somebody will try to help you too.

Edit: use lsmod to list your loaded modules
Edit2: you can also see if your ppp drivers are compiled as modules by doing:

It appears your internal modem may be the source of your problem. Do you have access to a modem card. Can you borrow one from a friend. Robotics should do it.
If not you will have to find out what type of internal modem you have and see if
there are drivers from RedHat that will support it. Don't forget to make sure you have download the correct driver (version number- for RedHat 5,6,7,8,9etc.. etc)

Good Luck

sir , i cant solve my problem coz i want grup command to stop ppp0 in bootloader ...so tell me the command so i stop ppp0 in bootloader....when i start REDHAT os every thing is ok but when they come at ppp0 then os stop and didnt work..so tell me the command line of grup boot loader ...actually i select grup not liloo..

I'm sorry but i guess there is no kernel parameter to disable ppp. If the driver was compiled as a module, not built-in, there's a possibility to disable it in the parameters but it only depends on the system's boot scripts. I don't know for redhat if there is a parameter to disable modules.

You can however manually disable a module if a module doesn't load before having the bash prompt by doing a single-user boot.

Highlight the kernel to boot from and press the 'e' key.
Find the line that starts with 'kernel' and press the 'e' key again.
Move to the end of the line and add the option 'single'.
Press enter to save changes.
Press the 'b' key to boot with the new boot parameter

If you successfully made it to the bash prompt, change directory to k/lib/modules/<version>/kernel/drivers/net/ then rename all ppp modules there. e.g. ppp_generic.ko to ppp_generic.ko_.

You can also blacklist a module if your system supports hotplugs by adding the module's name to the file //etc/hotplug.d/blacklist. e.g
