Bug#286402: kernel-patch-debian-2.4.27: Speed to serial ports limited
Package: kernel-patch-debian-2.4.27
Version: 2.4.27-6
Severity: important
I have just compiled kernel 2.4.27 with kernel-patch-2.4.27-6, using
kernel-pkg. I have a dialup connection with a 33.6 modem. My normal
speed is commonly 31K. My previous kernel was 2.4 26-2,
With this new kernel, I'm only connecting at 9600 bps. This has been
consistent throughout the day. Booting back into the .26 kernel
immediately gets me back to 31-33K.
I don't know if this is something in the ppp part of the kernel or what,
but I'm sure it has to do with the kernel because simply rebooting into
a different kernel with no other changes immediately remedies the
problem.
Here is a diff between the configs. I see nothing that should make this
difference.
