Hi, all! This might not be the apropriate place to ask questions related to non-gentoo-kernels, even more as the questions are about a testing kernel (2.6.0-test6). Yet, I hope that someone will be kind enough to answer my questions.
After having heard so much positive stuff about the upcoming 2.6 Linux Kernel I decided to give it a try but soon I would run into some wierd problems that I havent been able to solve even after many hours of trying. The first one is that I cannot connect to my adsl-provider (german telekom) any longer, despite of all necessary modules being there and loaded (at least I think so). the ppp_generic, ppp_async, slhc, sis900 (my ethernet driver) are all available and roaring pinguin also compiles well and does not complain about lacking drivers ... but inspite of this I cannot connect to my ISP. There is another big problem. Under X I cannot start any terminal emulation software such as Xterm, Eterm or Konsole unless I am logged in as root. Xterm doesnt start at all, Eterm starts and exits immediately and konsole spits out following message before it exits: "unable to open a suitable terminal device". This problem really p..... me off since I have to leave X and switch to the virtual consoles everytime I want to type in a command and that is annoying. I guess there is something wrong with the pseudo terminals. Maybe the permissions are not set correctly. But if that was the case, why does it work under the gentoo-2.4.20-r5 kernel??? Is something wrong with devfs??? Thanx in advance. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
