System Crash When Faxing with a Passive AVM Card
Support knowledgebase (ghillie_81avmfaxcrash)
Applies to
SuSE Linux: Version 8.1
Symptom
Your system is equipped with a passive AVM ISDN card and you use the CAPI driver to send or receive
faxes. However, the system crashes every time you try to fax. Only two LEDs flash on the keyboard
and nothing else works.
Cause
Due to some unfortunate circumstances, SuSE Linux 8.1 contains some drivers with faulty fax
functionalities for AVM ISDN cards.
Solution
Install the official SuSE Linux 8.1 kernel update, which not only includes an updated AVM
driver, but also
additional bug fixes. For further information about how to install this kernel, refer to the
article "Official Update Kernel for SuSE Linux 8.1" (http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/81_update_kernel.html).
It is advisable to install all new updates on your system by means of the YaST Online Update, particularly the updated
packages hylafax and capi4hylafax, which are relevant for this subject. Perform the update according to the
instructions from your SuSE Linux manual.
These issues exceed the scope of both the free-of-charge installation support and the
Advanced Support services.
