I have the exact same problem. Any news since opening the bug? Any work around? I think this is a problem with the handling of USB devices. I personally got round the problem by connecting my modem to the computer using a network interface card instead. Not a real solution, but NIC cards are cheaper than grey hairs! I was abled to do the same thing but I am using my network card for a home network and can not live the modem an do not have a free slot for an additionnal card. So if I andersand write boot without the modem open an them I have to remove it an reinstall for it to work? I wasn't able to use my cable modem at all with a USB connection under Fedora. I could install Fedora if the modem was disconnected, but could not subsequently boot-up if the modem was connected. I was able to use the USB modem with the last Red Hat release however. To get a solution, I think that someone familiar with the way that Fedora handles USB devices needs to take a look. Sorry I'm not much help. Thanks I have found that leaving the modem close while booting so that new hardware detection does not update anything, an then starting the modem after sign on, avery thing work fine. Is the problem with Kudzu? I have tried this with 2 kernel version 2.6.6-1.435.2.3 and 2.6.7-1.459 with the same result. This does not work every time. Sometime the usb server works some time it does not ?? Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be provided by Red Hat. The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel updates for security problems only. If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the product version accordingly. Thank you. |
