It took three hours. Then, I ran it. Perfect! It was just sooo awesome--I had it just right. Guess what... my brother wrecked it. I was playing Iagno and AisleRiot in some restaurant (while waiting for our car to be fixed), and I stopped since I knew that battery power was low. I shut down successfully. Then my brother wanted to play, so I gave him the spare battery. I told him that he could play for a while but would have to shut down soon since the battery wouldn't last long. I then went over to work on the car. When I came back, I found that he had played xkobo until it died on him. At home, I tried starting Linux. It came across some nasty-looking filesystem errors and locked up. I couldn't boot it! I tried everything I could, but all that was left was a reinstallation. Three more hours... argh.

It doesn't matter whether you're using internal or external devices; if you're using kernel 2.2.x, you need to use ttyS*, because the kernel's done away with the cua* devices.

Looking at man setserial gives us an answer. Using setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 10 should do it. Then try setserial /dev/ttyS2 and you should see that it shows irq 10. Then try kppp again using /dev/ttyS2 as the modem device. If it works, you can add the line setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 10 to /etc/rc.local or create a new file called /etc/rc.serial and put it there so it runs at startup every time.
