I already supplied the relevant details per Nadav request. Kernel 2.4.18 vanilla (ie unpatched) Debian 3.0 testing pptp 1.1.0 pppd 2.4.1
Kernel compiled with gcc 2.95 (not 3.2), everything is NOT modules but compiled in the kernel. It is worth mentioning that it is Debian Kernel, that means that as I have not applied patches to it, Debian folks did. The problem occurs only when I d/l large files at top speed, but perhaps it's only coincidence, as Ira said that pppd craches before the kernel freeze. Also Ira said that he experienced the problem with 2.4.19 kernel as well. Unfortunatelly I cannot supply the kernel oops info as I already rebooted the machine and can't see it. Logs shows nothing. Looking in the pptp mailing list and site proved unhelpful and I want this list opinion before I write to both pptp and kernel mailing lists. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tzafrir Cohen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Oleg Kobets" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, October 19, 2002 12:39 PM Subject: Re: [long] asking for help properly [Was: pptp kernel freeze] > On Sat, 19 Oct 2002, Oleg Kobets wrote: > > > If anybody (still) knows howto fix this problem of pptp kernel freeze, > > please write to me directly as not to allow this list the opportunity to > > flame anyone else. > > I think people are still waiting for the details of your problems. > > Please read what Oleg Goldshmidt wrote, and supply those details (or > similar relevant details).
