module problem
 

i downloaded sm56-gcc3 modem driver from www.sm56.tk.first when i used redhat8 with kernel 2.4.18-14 it did not work it said some segmentation fault.but when i recompiled the same kernel with gcc2.96 the modem worked fine with that installation.the same thing when i did for RH 9 with kernel 2.4.20-8 it did not work.but when i recompiled the kernel with gcc2.96 it still did not work.it says the same segmentation fault error.why is that happening.and what could be the reason and what could be the solution.

i don't know, but why don't you use your old kernel and
modules from your old redhat that worked. they should
work with your new redhat.

i can use that but i dont wanna use all the modules of my old kernel.but is there any specific module that i can replacethe existing new ones?ithink it must be PPP.if it is where is the exact location of those?

you can enable following kernel configuration from the make xconfig command:
1. Enable load module support.
2. In the network device button select all PPP related thinks as loadable modules.

Then compile ther kernel and then install the sm56-gcc3.tar.gz driver. You will be able to sucessfully install the modem.
