ISDN-problem

[Markus Amersdorfer]

Hi everybody,

First of all many thanks for Ubuntu -- to all Ubuntu and Debian
developers as well as everyone else contributing to this great piece of
software!

Unfortunately, I can't get my ISDN-dialup to work.
After the common installation, I added the packages ipppd and
isdnutils-base and used the package's Debconf-questions to configure the
dialup account.
The problem is that the ISDN-system can not start properly. Here's what
it says during boot-time, including a hotplug-error (which might be
interesting as udev uses hotplug somehow, doesn't it? (which is what
I've heard recently, but I've never had contact with udev before using
Ubuntu, then)...):

 * Starting hotplug subsystem
modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting pciehp (/lib/modules/2.6.8.1-3-386
/kernel/drivers/pci/hotpug/pciehp.ko): Operation not permitted
modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting shpchp (...): Operation not permitted
[...]
Starting ISDN services: error:
    Neither /dev/isdninfo nor /dev/isdn/isdninfo exist!
    Before you can use any ISDN facilities, ensure you have the proper
    kernel modules loaded. These will probably be 'isdn' and 'hisax'.
    Read /usr/share/doc/isdnutils/README.HiSax.gz for more information
    (e.g. with 'zless /usr/share/doc/isdnutils-base/README.HiSax.gz').

The modules isdn and hisax are loaded, though.

I had tried to dive into all this CAPI-stuff, but then again Ubuntu does
not provide any CAPI-packages on the Warty-CD, and with the
"capidrv"-kernel-module loaded (or whatever it's called), it should be
possible to use the isdn4linux-packages properly ...


I suppose creating /dev/isdn/isdninfo (and possibly other devices too)
would suffice to make the i4l-packages work -- but I simply don't know
how to do that.

I'd really appreciate any hints you could give me!

Thanks in advance,
Max
