Hi group I made some changes to one of my customers today and rebooted the system, only to find that I no longer had connectivity :( I went to site and found all was good except I could not for the life of me get the PPPoE re-established.
I reset the Marconi VDSL modem I reset the Astlinux box multiple times I tried pppoe-stop and pppoe-start from the CLI and got this: CAP1-90003-ATP ~ # pppoe-stop pppoe-stop: No PPPoE connection appears to be running CAP1-90003-ATP ~ # pppoe-start ................TIMED OUT /usr/sbin/pppoe-start: line 193: 3527 Terminated $CONNECT "$@" > /dev/null 2>&1 But the same thing happened where the link eventually comes up but I see no status in the Status webgui page and I get a log full of these complaints: Oct 25 10:17:38 CAP1-90003-ATP daemon.err pppd[2427]: Unable to complete PPPoE Discovery Oct 25 10:17:48 CAP1-90003-ATP daemon.warn pppd[3116]: Timeout waiting for PADS packets Oct 25 10:17:48 CAP1-90003-ATP daemon.err pppd[3116]: Unable to complete PPPoE Discovery Oct 25 10:17:53 CAP1-90003-ATP daemon.warn pppd[251]: Timeout waiting for PADS packets Oct 25 10:17:53 CAP1-90003-ATP daemon.err pppd[251]: Unable to complete PPPoE Discovery I looked at all the processes and there seemed to be multiple pppd processes: 166 root /sbin/udevd --daemon 251 root pppd plugin /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.5/rp-pppoe.so nic-eth0 noipdefault noauth default-asyncmap defaultroute hide-password n 406 root /sbin/syslogd -s 1024 -m 60 -b 2 408 root klogd 413 root crond 1322 nobody dnsmasq 1338 nobody openvpn --daemon --writepid /var/run/openvpn.pid --config /etc/openvpn.conf 1360 root /usr/sbin/sshd 1365 root vsftpd /etc/vsftpd.conf 1386 root asterisk -p -I 1387 root astcanary /var/run/asterisk/alt.asterisk.canary.tweet.tweet.tweet 1386 1409 root shellinaboxd -u root -g nobody --no-beep --background=/var/run/shellinaboxd.pid --disable-ssl --localhost-only --serv 1411 root shellinaboxd -u root -g nobody --no-beep --background=/var/run/shellinaboxd.pid --disable-ssl --localhost-only --serv 1420 root lighttpd -f /etc/lighttpd.conf 1421 root /usr/bin/php 1424 65535 inadyn 1426 root /usr/bin/php 1427 root /usr/bin/php 1433 root /usr/bin/php 1447 root /sbin/getty -L 38400 /dev/ttyS0 vt100 1555 root pppd plugin /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.5/rp-pppoe.so nic-eth0 noipdefault noauth default-asyncmap defaultroute hide-password n 1796 root pppd plugin /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.5/rp-pppoe.so nic-eth0 noipdefault noauth default-asyncmap defaultroute hide-password n 1969 root pppd plugin /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.5/rp-pppoe.so nic-eth0 noipdefault noauth default-asyncmap defaultroute hide-password n 2255 root pppd plugin /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.5/rp-pppoe.so nic-eth0 noipdefault noauth default-asyncmap defaultroute hide-password n 2427 root pppd plugin /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.5/rp-pppoe.so nic-eth0 noipdefault noauth default-asyncmap defaultroute hide-password n 3091 root sshd: root@pts/0 3093 root -sh 3116 root pppd plugin /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.5/rp-pppoe.so nic-eth0 noipdefault noauth default-asyncmap defaultroute hide-password n 3268 root sshd: root@notty 3270 root /usr/libexec/sftp-server 3333 root pppd plugin /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.5/rp-pppoe.so nic-eth0 noipdefault noauth default-asyncmap defaultroute hide-password n 3509 root ps -A Finally I recall that Michael mentioned in one of my previous posts to set PPPOEKERNEL="yes" in user.conf. I did this and it came up straight away after a reboot (thanks Michael). So my questions I hope someone can answer are: 1) What does PPPOEKERNEL do? 2) Why did it fix my problem? 3) Should I use it for all my sites?
