List,
I have had a problem trying to upgrade kernel, using
MandrakeUpdate. I did the initscripts, kernel and kernel
source in one hit. All downloaded ok, and seemed to install
ok. modified /etc/lilo.conf and re-ran lilo so it now looks
at the new /boot/kernelblhblah22mdk.
Once in, all seems to go ok except that kppp now has some
difficulty with resolving dns names (or something along
those lines). Connects ok, despite an error dialogue that
says ppp support is not in the current kernel.
/var/log/messages shows that the connection to ISP is made,
and a local and remote IP are listed, so I assume that the
login and connection are negotiated ok at some level.
>From there on the problem is that I can not see anything on
the dial-up network beyond being able to ping to the remote
IP address. No name resolution happens, so no mail, no web,
no news etc. e.g. if I ping to the DNS name for the ISP I
get no response.
I had a look around /etc and files like resolv.conf seem to
be intact. Any pointers to where I should look next please?
Thanks in advance,
Bruce Moffatt
