All,

I've been having tons of trouble getting the PPSAPI to work under Linux 
2.4.34. I've applied the 2.4.32 patches, recompiled the kernel and ntpd, 
and have reached the stage where ntpdc -c kern shows nano as one of the 
status flags.

I have however just noticed that the serial driver was probably not 
being compiled with the right options, because if it is compiled as a 
module CONFIG_NTP_PPS_SERIAL if #undef'd, whereas 
CONFIG_NTP_PPS_SERIAL_MODULE is #defined instead. I _think_ that this 
causes serial.c to skip all of the PPS code (and indeed: the serial 
driver startup line in /var/log/messages does not show the PPSAPI flag).

Morale: if you need PPS support don't compile the serial driver as a module.

Cheers, Jan
