Hi All, I've just shifted my potato install to 2.4.16 and am having
problems getting PPP or USB storage to work. The modules loaded are the
same (as far as it goes) as I have with 2.2.19. I've looked around as much
as I can to find what might be causing the problem, to no avail. The
relevant details (I hope) are below (roughly split according to either PPP
or USB problem).
PPP:
I have no idea what to do here - is there something that 2.4.x does
differently with the serial connection for PPP?
USB:
The appropriate USB modules are loaded and the /proc/bus/usb has the right
details for drivers and devices, but it still doesn't seem to recognise
/dev/sda4 as a block device (according to the documentation I've looked at
and the fuzzy memories I have when I used to run the 2.3 USB backport this
should work).
thanks for any help
Dan Kortschak
