Dear Hamish, I think you mis understood me, please forget my work around. My current work around is using kernel-2.2. So if I run kernel-2.2 I have no problems and the system is running stable!!
The problem is probabebly: That FBB makes a call to an ax25_function this function is based on the old kernel of v2.2. As you mentioned, this not possible to do direct. FBB calls in fact a function from libax25, this lib_fuction calls the kernel_ax25 function of the old kernel-2.2. At the moment if I run kernel-2.4, this results in an allocation problem. Because of wrong pointers at the wrong places of the function. If I would upgrading to kernel-2.6, this problem is probably not solved. Because as far as I know, the ax25_kernel_functions are still the same as in kernel-2.4. And then again the compile parameters of libax25 are based on the kernel. And they are still kernel-2.4. For this you can make dependancy of libax25 that it is dependend on the comile kernel. I am not completly sure, sinds my switch to the debian system, I don't regurlary check what the changes are and how severe they are. But is original debian sarge configuration with kernel-2.4 the system crashed after almost 3 hours in full functionality. Error on display is something of can not allocate buf. Configuration at that time: pentium 120 MHz, 40 MB RAM, 500 MB hd and a 2 GB HD. Enough swap of 128 MB. Kernel-2.4-latest of sarge and all packages of sarge, node, libax25, ax25-apps and tools. Next to it runs the spider cluster at user level in a perl script env. If I disconnect al hamradio modems and let it run with only internet access, system stays up and running for almost 4 days, I switched off. 73, Arjan On 11/14/05, Hamish Moffatt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Mon, Nov 14, 2005 at 02:29:29PM +0100, Arjan van Schijndel wrote: > > I know there is know support, but I had an old kernel-package still on > > the shelve and I jused that one.
