I am currently running kernel 2.2.17 on a Woody box. I want to move to kernel 2.4.17 (so that I can install a USB port) and I have a few questions.
I have done an 'apt-get install' for the kernel package (586tsc) and have lilo configured to boot either kernel. The system will boot to the new kernel, but there are a few messages during the boot that tell me I have some tinkering to do. That is where I need help. The first problem is that the new kernel apparently does not find my sound card, but the old kernel did. When booting to 2.2.17, I get the following messages: YM3812 and OPL-3 driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen, Rob Hooft 1993-1996 Found OPL3-SA2 (YMF711) When booting to 2.4.17, I get this, however: YM3812 and OPL-3 driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen, Rob Hooft 1993-1996 OPL3 not detected ff opl3sa2: Activated ISA PnP card 0 (active=1) opl3sa2: chipset version = 0x1 opl3sa2: Found OPL3-SA2 (YMF711) opl3sa2: Search for a card at 0x880. opl3sa2: Control I/O port 0x370 is not a YMF7xx chipset! opl3sa2: There was a problem probing one of the ISA PNP cards, continuing opl3sa2: Control I/O port 0x370 is not a YMF7xx chipset! opl3sa2: There was a problem probing one of the ISA PNP cards, continuing opl3sa2: Control I/O port 0x370 is not a YMF7xx chipset! opl3sa2: There was a problem probing one of the ISA PNP cards, continuing ttyS2: LSR safety check engaged! ttyS2: LSR safety check engaged! lp0: compatibility mode I had enough trouble getting sound to work the first time. I couldn't tell you now what I did. Does the 2.4.xx kernel handle sound differently than 2.2.xx? Can anyone give me a push in the right direction, here? My second problem is with IP spoofing and firewalls. I have a very simple 2 box network with the newer box connected to the Internet by ppp and a crossover ethernet cable between the two boxes. Nothing fancy, just ipchains. Unfortunately, ipchains is for kernel 2.2.xx and not for 2.4.xx. This leaves me with the following messages at boot. When booting to 2.2.17, I get the following messages: Setting up IP spoofing protection: rp_filter. Configuring network interfaces: done. Starting portmap daemon: portmap. When booting to 2.4.17, I also get this, however: modprobe: Can't locate module ip_masq-ftp /etc/rcS.d/S42ipfirewall: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_always-defrag: No such file or directory ipchains: setting MASQ timeouts failed: Protocol not available ipchains: Protocol not available ipchains: Protocol not available How do I set up spoofing and firewall for the 2.4.17 kernel? Is there a way to have it work for both until I am sure that I don't have other problems with the new kernel. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
