Hi,
I have been running 2.1.131 successfully on my SMP system.
One annoying point is the route table gets a double entry for
some reason under 2.1.131 but not on 2.0.36-1 (RH5.2).
ie: I get the following under 2.1.131, but not on 2.0.36-1.
[gmkelly@bushrock gmkelly]$ route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
kyle.zip.com.au * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0
10.10.10.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
10.10.10.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default kyle.zip.com.au 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0
I found that installing a new RH5.2 system on a IDE drive and
then simply loading, compiling and installing 2.1.131 on this
system (with all is uptodate lib's etc) works. I have checked out
the ./linux-2.1.131/Doucumnetation/Changes, and accordingly
all (expect modutils-2.1.121 which I copied over and installed)
are upto rev. Additionally, ifconfig has been reformated (or has
additional data fields) becasue I get an additional problem.

Note: the errors in ppp0 & local. Yes I have confirmed that they are not
due to other erroneous conditions by comparing to 2.0.36-1 (RH5.2).
So which util(s) do I need to upgrade to get route and ifconfig to
reflect correct values, which are not reflected in the Changes doco ?
Thanks, Grahame
