You're probably using a kernel compiled with SMP support either don't
use SMP or try here:

Right, I haven't got a concrete answer here but I couldn't find it anywhere on the internet so here goes. I found this error come up when I recompiled my kernel once. It did it the first time but I forgot how to fix it. A combination of things fixed it for me:
<P

><UL
><LI
><P
>Configured the kernel module support to ignore kernel version checking</P
></LI
><LI
><P
>Recompiled SARlib (this is what ultimately fixed it) before recompiling speedtch.o</P
></LI
><LI
><P
>Recompiled speedtch.o and reinstalled. Et voila!</P

As I said I can't be sure about this one but it worked for me.&#13;</P

When you pick up the phone there are strange noises present, more over
the use of the phone line causes the internet to disconnect.</P

You seem to have something which I thing is called cross-frequency. The
ADSL modem works by sending data down the unused frequencies of you
copper phone line. If the hardware is set up so the ADSL and phone
ranges overlap the two can receive each other's data. Ring BTO Customer
Support and they should be able to help.</P
