Guest zae Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 (edited) Hi there! I'v got an error while booting Mandriva Linux (LE 2005). It was something like this: Loading SmartLink modem driver into kernel ... FATAL: Error inserting slamr (/lib/modules/2.6.11-6mdk/kernel/drivers/char/slamr.ko.gz): no such device (obviously i get the same error when i try to load the slamr module manually with modprobe slamr command) Than i have got another error: /etc/rc5.d/S09slmodemd: line34: echo_failed command not found. Could someone please help me to install the modem driver? Thanks in advance! Edited July 20, 2005 by zae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Here are some questions I need to ask you first. 1. Are you using the Mandriva RPM version of the smartlink driver? (From the Powerpack or commercial edition?) 2. Have you updated the kernel? Because that particular driver is compiled toward the exact kernel name when you upgrade the kernel, you need to recompile the driver. My suggestion is this. 1. Uninstall the driver rpm (but not the service rpm [slmodemd]). 2. Download the source driver from http://www.smlink.com 3. Install the kernel-source rpm that has the same version as your current kernel. 4. Compile the source driver, and then install it. Search this board for instructions of how to install the smartlink driver. There are plenty of posts and threads about it. If you have any further questions, let us know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zae Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Still not working.... Slmodem driver does not work even if it was builded from sources Maybe there is somekind of patch to fix the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Hmm.. that could mean that there is no smartlink modem at all in your computer. Can you list the components of your computer? Or is it a laptop? If it is a laptop, what kind of model is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
