I'm using kernel 2.4 on my potato box without any problems. I've installed
modutils from woody to recognize new directories organization under
/lib/modules/ and ppp package from woody to make ppp work as a module with
such modutils configuration:
alias char-major-108 ppp_generic
alias /dev/ppp ppp_generic
alias tty-ldisc-3 ppp_async
alias tty-ldisc-14 ppp_synctty
alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp
alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate
alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate
With these two modifications everything works just fine. Here you have
official list of needed packages from kernel 2.4.0-test10 source:
o Gnu C 2.91.66 # gcc --version
o Gnu make 3.77 # make --version
o binutils 2.9.1.0.25 # ld -v
o util-linux 2.10o # kbdrate -v
o modutils 2.3.18 # insmod -V
o e2fsprogs 1.19 # tune2fs --version
o pcmcia-cs 3.1.21 # cardmgr -V
o PPP 2.4.0 # pppd --version
o isdn4k-utils 3.1beta7 # isdnctrl 2>&1|grep version
BTW I use e2fsprogs 1.18 from potato without any problems. Any other newer
packages like pcmcia-cs or isdn4-utils I don't use so I don't care about
them.
