Panic!!!
I'm in geo-stationary orbit after a 2.2.19-9mdk installation.
Everything appeared to go OK. A few warnings about syntactic things but
I assume 'Warning' still has a non-fatal conotation - yes?
So after the makes - I reboot and decide to check my mail.
Pull up kppp and dial - connection is made and ppp dies unexpectantly.
(This is not an unusual thing here the phone line is pretty crappy), so I
try again
- several times before checking the debug log and get the following truncated
message:
Oct 12 07:36:21 localhost pppd[561]: ioctl(TIOCSETD(PPP)): Invalid
argument(22)
Oct 12 07:36:21 localhost pppd[561]: This system lacks kernel support for
PPP.
This could be because the PPP kernel
module could not be loaded,
or because PPP was not included in the kernel configuration.
If PPP was included as a module, try `/sbin/modprobe -v ppp'.
If that fails, check t...........???
So I run the modprobe (as root) and get...
[root@localhost net]# /sbin/modprobe -v ppp

Now I'm certain I didn't EXCLUDE ppp when I ran 'make menuconfig' but how do
I check for this and more importantly - fix it?
Cheers (from that other opsys)
