Hello,
After trying all sorts of kernels (default Mandrake 8.2beta, default YDL
2.1, BenH's 2.4.18-rc2) with macserial as a module, macserial built-in,
etc. I have come to the conclusion that... I need help. HELP!!
Right, sorry for the hysterics. Basically I have macserial loaded, I
have grepped the /var/log/message and it appears that when the serial
ports are recognised (/dev/ttyS0 at irq28 I think), it should say (iBook
internal modem) or something similar. Only it does not. wvdialconf does
not detect any modem, ditto kppp (probing /dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyS1 - or
/dev/tts/0, /dev/tts/1 with DevFS, as well as using /dev/modem linked to
the above, results in kPPP saying 'modem does not respond'). This is
with the device nodes being given permissions of 666 and kppp ran suid
root.
The system in question is iBook2, bought this year after Macworld NY,
the old 12.1" version with 640 MB SDRAM (should not matter, surely?) and
Toshiba SD-R2002 1C30 DVD/CDRW. Just in case Apple decided to bundle
different modems with different configs...
Any help *really* appreciated. Can't really test Mandrake properly if I
have to keep rebooting to get files from the 'net!
PS Stew, thanks for the response. Any chance of a second beta appearing
soon? I can download ISOs much more conveniently on my department's
JANET connection than doing it at home.
* Suggestion * - how about having an option in RPMdrake to export to a
text file the list of URLs for the files that will be downloaded in an
upgrading job? That way the user can grab the list, feed it to wget and
put it in RPMdrake's cache, and hey presto!
Regards,
Mich�l Alexandre Salim
