I apologize for the ppp repost. In addition to my Gentoo problems,
an unco-ordinated MX change resulted in me not getting 36 hours worth of
mail, so I've probably missed any replies to that.
OK, so I waited a while between kernel upgrades *AND* there was a
layout upgrade in the meantime. Let's just say that "make oldconfig"
did *NOT* work very well. I got kernel panic, and it wouldn't boot. I
hauled out the install CD, booted, chrooted, re-emerged kernel 2.6.16-r7
(yeah. I know, still "behind the times"), and manually entered all the
stuff in "make menuconfig", and rebuilt the kernel. On bootup it
complained about /etc/conf.d/net and pointed me to a new example file.
I changed a couple of entries to...
config_eth0="192.168.123.252 broadcast 192.168.123.255 netmask 255.255.255.248
mtu 1454"
routes_eth0=("default via 192.168.123.254")
...and rebooted. One less complaint.
I still have 2 problems. During bootup, I get...
====================================================
* Loading iptables state and starting firewall ...
FATAL: Module ip_tables not found.
iptables-restore v1.3.5: iptables-restore: unable to initializetable 'raw'
Error occurred at line: 2
Try `iptables-restore -h' or 'iptables-restore --help' for more informat [ !! ]
====================================================
There seem to be a lot more entries for iptables, netfilter, and
xtables (huh???) than I remember. I obviously missed something
somewhere. Any idea from the error message which "make menuconfig" item
it was? Even though I'm behind a NATting ADSL router-modem, I'm taking
down eth0, except when up/down loading email and news.
Secondly, whilst trying to emerge/update ppp, I get
=====================================================
>>> checking ppp-2.4.3-patches-20060707.tar.gz ;-)
* Gentoo is moving toward common configuration file for all network
* interfaces. Thus starting from >=ppp-2.4.3-r10 the following files
* are obsoleted and should be removed to avoid future confusion:
* /etc/conf.d/net.ppp0 - conflict with baselayout
* /etc/init.d/net.ppp0 - conflict with baselayout
* /etc/ppp/chat-default - unused by this version
* /etc/ppp/options-pppoe - unused by this version
* /etc/ppp/options-pptp - unused by this version
* If you use the old net.ppp0 script, you need to:
* - upgrade to >=sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.0_pre11
* - set ppp0 parameters in /etc/conf.d/net (see example file)
* - remove conflicting files
* - upgrade net-dialup/ppp
* If you never used net.ppp0 script, just run the following commands:
* rm //etc/conf.d/net.ppp0 //etc/init.d/net.ppp0 //etc/ppp/chat-default
//etc/ppp/options-pppoe //etc/ppp/options-pptp
* emerge --resume
!!! ERROR: net-dialup/ppp-2.4.3-r16 failed.
Call stack:

ppp-2.4.3-r16.ebuild, line 75: Called die
!!! Conflicts with baselayout support detected
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if
relevant.
====================================================
I'm on baselayout-1.12.4-r7, and I invoke ppp for dialup with
pon/poff. I use pppconfig for setup. Is it safe for me to delete the
files?
