Hi, I have the similar problem on a C887VAM router,
***
Router#show controller vdsl 0
Controller VDSL 0 is DOWN
Daemon Status: Start
DSL modem is not yet initialized.
Firmware Source File Name (version)
-------- ------ -------------------
OS FW embedded VDSL_LINUX_DEV_01212008 (1)
Training Log : Stopped

***
the firmware you have on your router.
Thank you
