Yes, I left uncommented only fcpci module, I think it was correct

I think this is not the problem because I've yet checked this:
/dev/capi20 root:dialout, crw,rw

Seems that this problem occurs with fcpci patch for kernels>2.6.8;
I've yet installed some ISDN faxservers without problems using debian.
I would like to use kernel 2.6.8-3 but this is too old and my new
pc/server does not find sata II controller, so I can't install linux.
I'm in a loop :)
I don't know where is the problem, because with kernel 2.6.8 (on other
hardware where the sata controller is found) there are no problems and
the configuration steps are the same.
Someone has experienced problems with kernel 2.6.18 and fcpi patch?

Thank you very much for your support.
Any suggestions are welcome.
