I had a somewhat similar problem some time ago, I don't remember the exact details now so I'm not sure I'm talking about the same issue.
When you upgrade your 2.2.x kernel to a 2.4.x one, you must upgrade many packages in order to keep them all working OK, this is documented in /Docs in the kernel source, CHANGES or README, IIRC. For example, pppd must be > 2.4. Be sure to upgrade all that packages as documented and try again. Good luck !!! > I installed Debian 2.2r6, installed a ppp-dialup link. This works > fine with 'pon provider' I automated it with diald so it responds > when there is an ISP-request an brings the link down after som idle > time. So far, so good. > > I recently installed a new kernel 2.4.18. This look OK, but diald is > dead (process is running thou). It won't respond to commands such as > 'lynx', 'route' etc..... Everything look the same as with 2.2r6.
