Re: ppp0 not found when switched to 2.4 kernel

[Sebastiaan <sebas@sacred-key.org>]

Hi,

have you installed modutils-2.4.1 and the new ppp package from woody? You
will need those if you want to run 2.4 kernels. 

If you take a look at /lib/modules/2.4.1 you will notice that the
arcitecture has changed. Temporarily you should be able to manually insmod
the needed ppp drivers.

Greetz,
Sebastiaan
