I had this same problem, so I manually removed woody ppp and installed potato ppp, then marked it 'hold' so that it wouldn't get replaced on the next apt-get upgrade.
Since then, ppp demand-dial has been working just great on my woody ipmasq/demand-ppp 56k dail-out box. If you don't need whatever functionality might be in the latest ppp, but do need the demand-dial, then this might work for you as well. Of course, perhaps you've already tried this; in which case nevermind. :-) Shaun Crossley, Technician [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kootenay Computers (1995) Inc. 250-365-2323 (voice) 250-365-0151 (fax) -----Original Message----- From: Forrest Cahoon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, Aug 21, 2001 10:42 PM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: fixing demand-dialing ppp I have the same problem that is described in bug #103843: my woody box can't do demand-dialing ppp. While the bug is still open, the maintainer (Eduard Bloch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) posted this response: > The reason is the kernel-mode-pppoe patch, having removed it > the pppd seems to start fine. I have no clue what this is supposed to mean. I got pristine 2.2.19 sources from ftp.us.kernel.org and built a kernel with make-kpkg, but I still have the problem. I've tried both building ppp into the kernel and building it as a module, but both fail. A couple of points that might be relevant: 1) My woody box that is having this problem is running ip masquerade. 2) I've been building these kernels on a sid box with make-kpkg, then installing them on my woody box.
