will not boot after installing modem
I installed a new modem then when I booted it froze while loading linux into memory.
1. I do not have a lspci file on my system.
2. 2.4.20-8
3. I am using a desktop, AMD Duron processor.
4. PCI cards only
5. It freezes while the linux image is loading, no messages.
The modem is a ITU-T V.92 PCI modem from Encore. I ordered the modem because online they specified that it was linux compatible. When I spoke with the vendor he said that the modem is made with an Intel chip so it is compatible with Linux. He suggested that it might be an interrupt conflict.
Since the system does not even complete the loading of the linux image how can I even know if there is a conflict? Would a conflict cause the system to freeze during the boot process before it even looks for new devices? How can I verify if the modem is compatible and change the interrupt if that may be the problem?
Thanks
