Re: Kernel 2.2.x: PPP routing problem?
It's not just you. A couple of days ago I decided that I had pretty much
butchered my Debian installation (which I had installed close to a year
previous), so I decided to do the whole reformat/reinstall maneuver (after
backing up my /home directory, of course). As I now have the Debian 2.0
CDs, the process was pretty painless. After I got everything installed, I
immediately downloaded, installed and ran apt-get, and promptly upgraded to
Slink, just as I had done when Slink first went stable. And now I can't use
any of the >2.0.x kernels AND have ppp work. I've tried everything that has
been mentioned in this thread, recompiling, moving back to the 2.2.7 kernel,
which had just been working fine on my previous Slink installation, etc all
to no avail. This is really driving me batty, but I thought you might like
to know (Kris) that it isn't just your machine. I've just about decided to
try a complete reformat/reinstall, as I've run out of just about all other
options. I also thought about just using the 2.0.36 kernel, but as I have a
dual PPro system the SMP performance just isn't there.
Oh yes, something else I forgot to mention. I also put the proposed-updates
link in my sources.list file, and upgraded to the packages present at that
location. As I had not done this previously, I suspect this is where the
problem is, so I'm thinking about reinstalling, upgrading, and then NOT
upgrading again with the proposed-updates.
