LSR safety check engaged!

**neil** · 02-20-2003, 11:53 AM

I am getting the message "ttyS1: LSR safety check engaged!" with Knoppix installed on my HD when I try to dial my ISP via my PC Card modem, which is on ttyS1. I didn't get the message when working direct from the CD, and nor do I get it when working from the HD through an external modem on ttyS0. I also haven't had it using my PC Card modem with other distro's, such as debian and Slackware. Can anyone please tell me what the message means and what I need to do to get rid of it and be able to use my PC Card modem from my HD?

--I get the message on my tower too, but don't know what it means. You might want to google around for that warning/error message.

Thanks. Already tried that. No good.

Have already seen these and tried suggestions as appropriate. Problem is not heinous although it may well be unfixable going by the posts I've read. I just hadn't seen the message before using other distros on the same equipment and wondered what it meant. Thanks anyway.
