There should be a kernel-source RPM, that is just the source and not a
source RPM.

Greetings, all.
Im hoping to get some debug assistance with what I believe to be a
problem somewhere in the USB stack, in Fedora Core 3.
In RH8, kernel 2.4.18-14, I had been successfully using a USR Sportster
V90 modem, connected via a Belkin F5U103 USB Serial adapter, using the
usb-uhci module. The only glitch is that after hanging up, it later takes
2 tries to get connected again. This is of no concern to me, although if
anyone wants for me to try to gather some info regarding it, Im happy to
make the attempt.
In FC3, kernel 2.6.9-1, this setup no longer functions. I have use Minicom
to get a look at whats happening. I can dial the modem, and get a CONNECT
message back from it. Once the connect string has been sent, no further
comm is possible. Normally, after receiving the connect string, a return
character will result in a login prompt from my ISP. No amount of banging
on the keyboard has had any effect. I cannot tell, at this point, whether
thats because nothing is going upstream, or nothing is coming back, nor
where the I/O is being stopped.
You might be aware that Fedora installs without creating a kernel tree,
and thus, at the moment, I dont have the benefit of
/usr/src/linux/Documentation. Im working on that. Ive downloaded the
source RPM, and installed it. But theres at least one more step involved,
and this is new territory for me -- that is, creating the kernel tree from
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES, which contains some bzipped tarballs, and lots of
patch files.
My system is setup dual-boot RH8 and FC3, and at the moment, Im in RH8,
otherwise I would mention which uhci driver is in use. (Or are there no
longer two possiblities in FC3?)
Suggestions on how to proceed are appreciated.
