PPP problem
I have ARM Linux running on an Acorn Risc PC. I am trying to set up a PPP
link to another machine via a null modem cable. When I start pppd, the
following error line appears in daemon.log (I've turned on various debug
options in ppp/options):
modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-108
A Google search for this error revealed some postings suggesting setting up
an alias to ppp_generic for this module as a fix, but that alias is already
there in modules.conf.
Further info:
uname -a reports:
Linux riscpc 2.2.16-rmk3 #7 Tue Sep 5 08:11:58 BST 2000 armv4l unknown
/boot/config-2.2.16-rmk3 includes the line:
CONFIG_PPP=y
The only PPP related module in /lib/modules appears to be
/lib/modules/2.2.16-rmk3/net/ppp_deflate.o
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should do to fix this?
I've upgraded many of the packages to those from Woody, but looking at the
kernel number above, I seem to be using the Potato kernel still, which
isn't surprising as the kernel is loaded from a file on the RISC OS side
using the application !Linux. I don't know whether I need to find a newer
kernel image to put in its place or whether I should be booting into Linux
some other way these days, so advice on that would be welcome too.
Thank you,
