I do not know. Does the config file shows support for ISDN?
With my custom kernel:
[17:24:16 /tmp]$ grep ISDN /boot/config-2.2.17
# ISDN subsystem
CONFIG_ISDN=m
CONFIG_ISDN_PPP=y
CONFIG_ISDN_PPP_VJ=y
CONFIG_ISDN_MPP=y
CONFIG_ISDN_AUDIO=y
CONFIG_ISDN_TTY_FAX=y
# ISDN feature submodules
# CONFIG_ISDN_DRV_LOOP is not set
# CONFIG_ISDN_DIVERSION is not set
# Passive ISDN cards
CONFIG_ISDN_DRV_HISAX=m
# Active ISDN cards
# CONFIG_ISDN_DRV_ICN is not set
# CONFIG_ISDN_DRV_PCBIT is not set
# CONFIG_ISDN_DRV_SC is not set
# CONFIG_ISDN_DRV_ACT2000 is not set
# CONFIG_ISDN_DRV_EICON is not set
# CONFIG_ISDN_DRV_AVMB1 is not set
[17:27:30 /tmp]$
Since I am using the ISDN sub system as modules, I am also using the following:
[17:29:09 /tmp]$ tail -7 /etc/modutils/aliases
alias char-major-43 hisax
alias char-major-44 hisax
alias char-major-45 hisax
options hisax type=27
alias ippp0 isdn
[17:29:13 /tmp]$
Do not forget to run update-modutils if you are adding that.
You might want to read /usr/share/doc/isdnutils/ and
/usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.2.17/Documentation/isdn/. IIRC there is a lilo add
on in case the ISDN sub system is complied into the kernel.
