Package: kernel-patch-debian-2.4.27 Version: 2.4.27-6 Severity: important
I have just compiled kernel 2.4.27 with kernel-patch-2.4.27-6, using kernel-pkg. I have a dialup connection with a 33.6 modem. My normal speed is commonly 31K. My previous kernel was 2.4 26-2, With this new kernel, I'm only connecting at 9600 bps. This has been consistent throughout the day. Booting back into the .26 kernel immediately gets me back to 31-33K. I don't know if this is something in the ppp part of the kernel or what, but I'm sure it has to do with the kernel because simply rebooting into a different kernel with no other changes immediately remedies the problem. Here is a diff between the configs. I see nothing that should make this difference. diff /boot/config-2.4.26-2 /boot/config-2.4.27.6 104a105,109 > # CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_SHPC is not set > # CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_SHPC_POLL_EVENT_MODE is not set > # CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_SHPC_PHPRM_LEGACY is not set > # CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_PCIE is not set > # CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_PCIE_POLL_EVENT_MODE is not set 165c170 < # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CARMEL is not set --- > # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SX8 is not set 183a189 > # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DM_MIRROR is not set 195c201 < # CONFIG_NET_KEY is not set --- > CONFIG_NET_KEY=y 288,290c294,296 < CONFIG_INET6_AH=m < CONFIG_INET6_ESP=m < CONFIG_INET6_IPCOMP=m --- > # CONFIG_INET6_AH is not set > # CONFIG_INET6_ESP is not set > # CONFIG_INET6_IPCOMP is not set 293c299 < CONFIG_XFRM_USER=y --- > # CONFIG_XFRM_USER is not set 467a474 > # CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SX4 is not set 566c573,576 < # CONFIG_TIGON3 is not set --- > > # > # Need firmware loading support for Broadcom Tigon3 > # 1061a1072 > # CONFIG_CRYPTO_TEA is not set 1063a1075 > # CONFIG_CRYPTO_MICHAEL_MIC is not set -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (90, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i586) Kernel: Linux 2.4.26-2 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages kernel-patch-debian-2.4.27 depends on: ii bzip2 1.0.2-1 A high-quality block-sorting file -- no debconf information
