I had the same problem: my first boot into FC1, kudzu popped up saying my dialup modem (a plain old external 56kbps modem hooked via DB9 serial cable) has been "removed". I selected remove config in kudzu. Then I tried to setup dialup networking through the network device control GUI tool - and it too could not detect the modem. After putting in the /dev/modem symlink to /dev/ttyS0, and manually configuring the things in network device config GUI tool, I was able to get the link up and browse. After rebooting, kudzu again popped up saying it has "detected" my modem. This is weird. Other problems I have had are: 1. changed initdefault to 3 (non-X startup), and I could see a lot of "modprobe could not locate device block-major-XX-YYY" messages during boot. 2. I see an error message printed right after entering interactive setup saying /=LABEL partition/file doesn't exist or something. I don't know the exact message because it scrolls by too fast. My machine is a Athlon-2GHz, with VIA KT333 chipset ECS motherboard and 256MB DDR RAM. I have been using this machine with my RH 7.3 setup for a long time w/o problems. Regards/Kedar. </BODY> </HTML>
