Hello everybody, When I try to dialup the 'net on a fresh 2.6.16 install I get:
#pon <isp> /usr/sbin/pppd: In file /etc/peers/hd: unrecognized option '/dev/ttyS0' Sure enough, there's no such file, just /dev/tty, 0, 1 ... On my 2.6.12 and 2.6.15 boxen /dev/ttyS0 is a sym-link to tts/0 and I can dial out no problem. On the 2.6.16 box ls /dev/tty* just reveals a numerical, unlinked list. /dev/ttyS* no longer exists. Here's what pppconfig wrote(identical on all my PCs): sarawak heathen # cat /etc/ppp/peers/hd # This optionfile was generated by pppconfig 2.3.10. # # hide-password noauth connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/hd" debug /dev/ttyS0 115200 defaultroute noipdefault user "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" remotename hd ipparam hd As it stands now I can dial out from the 2.6.16 box only if I boot the install-cd and copy over from another drive my ppp config files and use the pppd that comes with the install-cd. And *it* uses /dev/ttyS0. If I try to go with /dev/tty or /dev/tty0 on the fresh install without benefit of install-cd, nothing happens -- no error on the console or the logs, no dialtone, nothing. Yes, I did mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0 and here's lsmod copied over from the 2.6.16 box.

So, I'm stuck -mw __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
