Please help

[Bennington]

I have 3.1 installed on my HD, but now it doesn't auto-detect my cable modem that worked thrue the USB. Any ideas?

Also, it doesn't detect my sound card. Any ideas about this problem?

Please, help

Does it work when you are booting from the CD ?
What do you get when you run

lspci -v

and

lsmod

on the command line ?

The output of

dmesg

might also be helpful.

[Bennington]

Yes, when I boot the Linux from CD, it works!

Let me just boot Knoppix from the HDD and see what does it shows.

[Bennington]

When booted from CD, lspci -v shows:

I see that lsmod doesn't show anything ... maybe this is the problem? how to fix it?

Yes, seems like no modules at all are probed when you boot from HD. I'm not too sure about this but there might be something missing in the /etc/modutils directory. You might want to compare the contents of that when booted from HD to when booted from CD. If you make some changes there you need to run update-modules for them to take effect.

Thank you very much, I'll check it now
