The kernels in the .sit are for the installer. The kernel in: [stew@powerbook-cooker export3]$ ls BootX/ initrd-2.4.17-17mdk.img Mandrake_Linux_8.2_Install.sit vmlinuz-2.4.17-17mdk Is the same kernel that the install process installed, from RPM. You need the initrd. Now of course it is possible the initrd does not have all the modules that you need. I built it on my machine and did not force every single module into it, but offered it as an aid to the OldWorld users. You could always boot off the rescue CD and build an initrd for your machine, that will have the right modules, and move it to MacOS. The other alternative would be for Mandrake to ship a 15MB kernel with every module that every person could possible need, built in. [stew@powerbook-cooker export3]$ cp BootX/initrd-2.4.17-17mdk.img /tmp [stew@powerbook-cooker export3]$ cd /tmp/ [stew@powerbook-cooker tmp]$ mv initrd-2.4.17-17mdk.img initrd-2.4.17-17mdk.gz [stew@powerbook-cooker tmp]$ gunzip initrd-2.4.17-17mdk.gz [stew@powerbook-cooker tmp]$ mkdir temp [stew@powerbook-cooker tmp]$ sudo mount initrd-2.4.17-17mdk temp -o loop [stew@powerbook-cooker tmp]$ cd temp/ [stew@powerbook-cooker temp]$ ls -l lib total 66 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11808 Feb 15 21:14 mac53c94.o -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 28836 Feb 15 21:14 mesh.o -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23073 Feb 15 21:14 sd_mod.o So it looks like I did include the offending module. I see this 7600 has a port labelled for the phone, but I don't have a connector for it, so I can't do much for you on troubleshooting the OldWorld modem.
