My second question is probably equally stupid. My colleague has just bought an ABIT KV7 (KT600 chipset) MB, and everything seems to work fine with Linux except for two things. First, the kernel version is whatever comes default with RH9 which I think is 2.4.20-8. The first problem is that when you tell Linux to power off, the OS halts and says it's halted, but it won't automatically power off. The second problem is that it can't find the modem. It it a US Robotics 5660A. When we got it from CompUSA, we asked if it was a Winmodem, and they INSISTED that it was not. Unfortunately, we can't seem to talk to it. Linux identifies it as a "communications controller", but it doesn't seem to appear to be associated with a "serial port" as I (in my ignorance) would expect it to be. Since the modem was installed when we installed the OS, I would have expected it to identify it and make sure appropriate kernel drivers were installed, but that may be expecting too much. Any suggestions? The fact that Windows XP insisted that we install drivers from CD to use the modem makes me suspicious that the person we asked at CompUSA had absolutely no idea what she was talking about, but we can always be optimistic. :) Thanks!
