Hello,

I have installed a RH6.1 distro and am trying to install a Teles HFC-S ISDN
card now. I can get the card working by loading the module at the prompt,
giving a 'modprobe hisax', but the module is not loaded at boot. I have
checked the /etc/rc.d/init.d/isdn file and it contains the line 'modprobe
hisax'. So, something is probably going wrong at boot.

So I have taken a look at the /var/log/boot.log file and found out the
following:

- isapnp enables the card OK

- depmod gives an error: modprobe: error reading ELF header: No such file of
directory. However the next line shows: rc.sysinit: Finding module
dependencies succeeded. Giving a depmod -a at the prompt also results in the
'error reading ELF header' message.

- ifup: SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable
- ifup: Reading configuration ...
- ifup: /etc/isdn/ippp0.conf
- ifup: /dev/isdninfo: No such device
- ipup: Oops, an error
- network: Bringing up interface ippp0 failed

What I think happens is that ifup can't bring up the ippp0 interface because
the hisax module is not loaded. When I give a ifup ippp0 at the prompt,
without having the hisax module loaded, I get the same error. However, when
I load the hisax module first, ifup ippp0 works just fine.

So the question is: "Why is the hisax module not loaded at boot?" Could it
have to do with the depmod problem or is there something else going wrong
here?

Any help is appreciated.

TIA,

Robert-Jan
