Hi all,

After hacking around after posting my previous query a few days ago, I
have discovered the problem may lie with the module support.

After some investigation inside my system I have discovered that should
there be a problem with loading the ppp.o module, pppd will hang without
logging anything, and requires a "kill" to stop pppd.

The plot now thickens: If I try and type "insmod ppp" I get complaints
of unresolved symbols. I then try "modprobe ppp" and the module loads
fine. I then decided to get around the problem by compiling the ppp
module into the kernel. I did the change with "make config", and
compiled the kernel from scratch using "make dep;make clean;make
zlilo;make modules;make modules_install;demod -a 2.0.34". Everything
compiles fine until the point it reaches the depmod step, which bombs
out like so:

/lib/modules/2.0.34/net/slip.o: unresolved symbol(s)
/lib/modules/2.0.34/net/ppp_deflate.o: unresolved symbol(s)
/lib/modules/2.0.34/net/bsd_comp.o: unresolved symbol(s)

It would seem that the code inserted from ppp v2.3.4's "make kernel"
step is fundamentally incompatible with v2.0.34 of the Linux kernel.

Can anyone confirm this?

Regards,
Graham
