I'd like to share my experience with other users of Speedtouch ADSl modems (USB, stingray). Yesterday I was able to finally install a dual boot RH9 on my laptop (HP Pavilion ze4318ea). After reading something like 10 guides on similar setups (different ZEs), I ended up disabling USB Legacy Support in the BIOS, in order to not freeze the installation procedure (all of the guides advise you to do so, to avoid lockups). After successfully installing RH9, the time for installing the speedtouch driver and getting the latest Errata came. Compilation was fine, I hooked up the modem, launched modem_run, flashing lights and... segfault! Going through log messages and using a more verbose output didn't help much. Disabling the access to almost all irqs for the yenta socket (PCMCIA) driver (as suggested in some drivers) didn't help either. Then, I restored the USB Legacy Support in the BIOS and wroom! My modem worked flawlessy, almost the same speed as I get from the desktop system, not a single glitch. And that's using the latest BIOS (1.49) from HP. BTW, modem_run crash logs were about not getting hold of an irq for the connection (IIRC). Dunno if this can be regarded as a bug or as a HW incompatibility. Cheers, Giacomo.
