For ppp, maybe you haven't upgraded your pppd for 2.4. You need a
2.4.x pppd for use in the 2.4.x kernels. Check out people.debian.org/
~bunk for the packages you need to upgrade for using 2.4 kernels with
potato. Mind that debian doesn't officially support using 2.4 kernels
in potato.
To use the new kernels you need to upgrade your gcc to 2.95.3. Check
master.debian.org/~doko for the gcc-2.95.3 port to potato. Besides
that, you need not upgrade any (since you're using potato 2.2r3, like
me...)
If you're adamant to using 2.2.x kernels, check out 2.2.20. I haven't
yet, so I ain't sure (I don't have USB devices and I use 2.4.x
kernels). AFAIK Alan Cox will post a complete changelog
by Monday so hang on (and hope and pray?)
As for the tty and the SCSI-emulator problems, what are they
specifically? others might know the solution.
