no problems here with pppoe, kernel is 2.6.17-rc1-mm1, ppp 2.4.4-b1.
Did you create a high load on the system in the manner I described?
The bug once only appeared after about 6 hours here when line + CPU had
been mostly idle. But that was the longest time between failures. Can you
test with one of the 2.6.16 kernels I tried (latest was .9)? Can't say
for sure if CPU load is a factor, load on the connection seems to be.
After using 2.6.15.7 for another 5 days now with some more stress
testing, I can assure that 2.6.15 definitely does not produce any
dropouts on this machine.
For now I'll try to reproduce the effects on my second box (AMD64/nf4).
I'd be happy if someone could give me some hints on which patches I could
try to revert as the changes to ppp between the two versions look fairly
harmless. For the first time in 8.5 years, I cannot use a 'stable' kernel
release and there is really nothing special about this system.
Regards,
Nuri
