Hello, I downloaded Slackware Linux (latest version) off the Internet a few months ago. I installed it fine but the first thing I need and want is PPP. I have ran into a wall with this. I spent a great deal of time with it then but gave up. Now I want to get it figured out so I can move on in setting up my linux. Basically the distribution came with PPP already installed. I did have to re-compile my kernel though. That was new for me and I re-compiled numerous times trying to figure out my problem. I tried it using modules and without. No luck. Whenever I try to run PPP, I get the "Kernel doesn't support message". However, here is output from my /var/log/messages file: Sep 4 23:03:13 bill kernel: PPP: version 2.2.0 (dynamic channel allocation) Sep 4 23:03:13 bill kernel: PPP Dynamic channel allocation code copyright 1995 Caldera, Inc. Sep 4 23:03:13 bill kernel: PPP line discipline registered. So the kernel does support it, or at least it should. Here is some data from my PPP debug file: Sep 4 23:33:53 dial004 insmod: unregister_8022_client undefined Sep 4 23:33:53 dial004 insmod: call_out_firewall undefined Sep 4 23:33:53 dial004 insmod: unregister_snap_client undefined Sep 4 23:33:53 dial004 insmod: unregister_8022tr_client undefined Sep 4 23:33:53 dial004 insmod: call_fw_firewall undefined Sep 4 23:33:53 dial004 insmod: register_8022tr_client undefined Sep 4 23:33:53 dial004 insmod: make_EII_client undefined Sep 4 23:33:53 dial004 insmod: make_8023_client undefined Sep 4 23:33:53 dial004 insmod: register_snap_client undefined Sep 4 23:33:53 dial004 insmod: call_in_firewall undefined Sep 4 23:33:53 dial004 insmod: register_8022_client undefined Sep 4 23:33:53 dial004 insmod: destroy_8023_client undefined Sep 4 23:33:53 dial004 insmod: destroy_EII_client undefined Sep 4 23:33:53 dial004 insmod: Loading failed! The module symbols (from linux-2.0.30) don't match your linux-2.0.30 Can anyone point me in the right direction to troubleshoot this problem? I don't know where to go with this "Loading failed" message in dealing with the matching of modules??? I downloaded the entire package and would assume all this stuff should be right. I know, stupid to assume anything. My PPP version is 2.2.0, kernel is 2.0.30. I will deeply appreciate any suggestions, and yes I have looked at some FAQS. :-) Bill anxious to get on the net with linux instead of Microshaft.
