Which won't do a thing if he has not read the Documentaion/Changes file
and installed the newer set of utils that files says the 2.4 kernels
need. modutils is among them because the tree in the /lib/modules/ver
directory has been modified. Including ppp, there are at least 4
supporting utilities that must also be updated.
This gets pointed this out to someone at least daily.

Hi...
I had a serious problem running ppp-2.4.0 with that config.
IT works OK with the ou of the box 2.2.16-32 kernel from rh-7.0..
I am a bit of a newbie with linux, but here it goes:
Tbis is my 2.4.2/modules.dep file:

This makes kppp give me an error where it complains that the kernel was
not compiled with ppp support .. and that I like the module 'ppp'.
However the kernel installs ppp_generic, ppp_async and ppp_deflate.. and
there is no module called just ppp.
So I tried changing ppp_generic to just ppp (rename) and changint the
.dep file accordingly, but I got another error message..
Mar 3 13:37:41 localhost pppd[1358]: pppd 2.4.0 started by root, uid 0
Mar 3 13:37:41 localhost pppd[1358]: Couldn't set tty to PPP
discipline: Invalid argument
Mar 3 13:37:41 localhost pppd[1358]: Exit.
So, could you perhaps help me???
How do I need to compile??
I also noticed that the .dep file in 2.2.16-22 references syncppp.o,
which is a bit strange..
Can anyone help?
Do I need to recompile the kernel??
I had a similar problem with via8cxxx, as the new kernel named the
module via8cxxx_audio, but sndconfig-0.57 looked for via8cxxx. I had
solved this one with simple renaming (actually I am loading the module
twice, now, both as via8cxxx and as via8cxxx_audio, just in case)... but
I can't seem to solve the PPP problem the same way.. can someone please
help me??
Regards,
Christos Dimitrakakis

Thx, as it's not needed anymore to type depmod -a,
make modules_install takes care of this with 2.4.x..

if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then

Try to mount the drive & pipe mount's messages to /dev/null.
Then, test the result by looking in $? 0 = good.

The only way I have found to repair this is by using a DOS boot disk
with fdisk on it..
just run FDISK /MBR to rebuild the master boot record (this will of
course wipe LILO (best thing for it IMHO).
I run loadlin from a small (10M) dos partition. It don't crash, It
allows you to update your kernel without mucking about with LILO and
if things go really bannanas you at least have somewhere to start
from...

If you run fdisk /mbr from your win98 command prompt this will fix
your lilo problem... Or rather wipe it so that you can at least start
linux to re-install lilo ( I prefer loadlin as it is more stable and
won't get mucked about with by MS thinking it knows best what you
want...
I use a small (10M) dos 6.22 partition with loadlin and a few useful
utils and drivers to boot linux... I also use win95 and SuSE 5.2 on
one 1GB Hd... It's a tight squeeze but who needs all those bells and
whistles anyway....

You can also try different ports. Sometimes the computer locks up due to

The command you are looking for is 'loadlin vmlinuz root=/dev/hda8
loadlin.exe is the program which loads the kernel image file which
should be in the same directory as loadlin.exe. The kernel image file
is usually called 'vmlinuz' but can also be called 'zimage' there
should be one of these kernel image files on your boot floppy. An
other alternative is to boot linux from the floppy, mount your dos
filesystem and copy the kernel image file from linux to the dos files
system and use that...

Is the sound card on mute? Have you turned up the relevant volumes
(master+PCM i guess)?
Is your sound card configured and do the modules load (/sbin/lsmod)? If
not, run 'sndconfig'.

Then you will have to (I assume you are using the from-the-box sendmail)
do some mail rewriting rules or mail masquerading which is fairly
advanced...
Prabably easier just to fix the CGI script to use the correct sender

OK, I've installed ppp.2.4.0, kernel 2.4.2 (for amd) with
ppp_generic, ppp_async, ppp_deflate and ppp_synctty as modules
However, I get an error from pppd that kernel does not have support for
PPP(!). It actually says to do modprobe -v ppp (of course ppp.o does not
exist!).. hm..
Anyway, modprobe and insmode produce this output:

It automatically mounts removable media drives when a disk is
inserted (i.e., no need for "mount /dev/...").
Good luck and good sailing.

I found the option of installing LILO in MBR or first sector of the
boot partition now for Red Had 7.0. However, I don't see the same
option in Red Had 6.2, it just takes the MBR, I re-installed Bootstar,
and the message shows up again:
Error while loading operating system! <Key>
1.Where exactly is the LILO option in Red Hat 6.2?
2.How do I re-install only LILO? (I don't want to re-install the whole
Linux system) - of course on the first sector of the boot partition.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Dino
