Date: 11 Aug 2000 13:06:48 -0700
Hello all,
I have problem for which I can't seem to find any helpful
documentation, so I hope someone here can point me in the right direction.
I am attempting to upgrade my kernel from2.0.36 to 2.2.16. I am able to
configure the new kernel just the way I want (for now, anyway), and to get
it and the modules to compile properly. I can boot up fine, but I cannot
seem to establish a proper ppp connection with my ISP under it anymore.
Here's what happens:
0) I operate ppp from a module, so I do insmod slhc, ppp.
1) In X, I launch ifup-ppp. I expect to hear the dialtone, but nothing
happens. I do a ps ax, and see this:
706 1 S 0:00 sh /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-ppp daemon ifcfg-ppp2
713 1 S 0:00 /usr/sbin/pppd -detach lock modem crtscts defaultroute
715 1 R 0:01 /sbin/modprobe -s -k ppp0
pid 715 is usually the chat script. It hangs like this indefinitely. I
don't ever remember seeing modprobe doing anything under my old kernel
(which I obviously kept!).
2) Anyway, after some experimentation, I found that if I ran
kill -9 715 at the command line, the chat would actually start. It sounds
normal, and completes. Here is the transcript from
/var/log/messages:

However, the actual connection is never completely established. I still
cannot access mail or news or name servers at this point.
3) I do another ps aux and I see this:
732 1 R 0:11 /sbin/modprobe -s -k ppp-compress-21
I have *no* idea what this is all about. There is no such module, or is
there?
4) Anyway, if I do kill -9 732, this is what I get from /var/log/messages.
Aug 11 12:20:15 debussy pppd[713]: write: warning: Input/output error(5)
Aug 11 12:20:15 debussy pppd[713]: Modem hangup
Aug 11 12:20:15 debussy pppd[713]: Connection terminated.
Aug 11 12:20:16 debussy pppd[713]: Exit.
That is, it terminates the "parent" process, 713.
5) Now, after all this, I can simply touch the Usernet ppp button (in X)
to attempt to reestablish the serial connection, which it tries.
Curiously, I don't have to kill any modprobe processes that probe ppp0.
But, it still hangs on a modprobe of ppp-compress-21.

Can anyone shed some light on why this is happening, and what I can do to
correct it?

Here is the result of setserial, to show you where my modem is, etc.
root: /proc# setserial -a /dev/ttyS2
/dev/ttyS2, Line 2, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 5
Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0
closing_wait: 3000, closing_wait2: infinte
Flags: spd_vhi skip_test
This is the result of ifconfig, during my attempt to ppp in the bad
kernel.
root: /var/log# ifconfig

Here's what it looks like in the good kernel, when pppd is running.
root: /root# ifconfig
lo Link encap:Local Loopback

Here is the result of /proc/interrupts for the bad kernel. I notice that
IRQ 5, which is where the modem is, is missing.
root: /var/log# cat /proc/interrupts

And here's the good kernel.

Date: Fri, 11 Aug 2000 20:16:31 GMT
I've already generated the isapnp.conf file with isapnp. What seems to
be happening is that for whatever reason Linux doesn't init the card.
What would be helpful is if someone knows the steps that linux takes to
setup the pnp cards during system start. Then at least I could verify
each step.
Thanks

Enable the debug option in pppd and see if you can find what's happening.
If ppp-compress-21 is not present, you might try aliasing the bsd-comp.o module (or
softlinking bsd-comp.o as ppp-compress-21.o).

Sendmail uses TCP as it's transport. If your macs and pcs are not able to see
the linux box, install TCP/IP on them and try again. NetBEUI won't show the

FWIK Linux does nothing to initialise PnP devices (2.2.x have PnP code for
parallel ports but that's about it).
Once the isapnp.conf file is generated, you might have to edit it (if
required) and then during the boot process run isapnp with this cfg file to
actually initialize the card(s).
I am not sure about this, but isapnp should have a verbose option to show
what it is doing...
man isapnp should tell you this.
ISAPNP is the workhorse which you need to tame/ride...
