problem with ppp and 2.4.7
Hi,
I just compiled 2.4.7 and everything seems to work just fine - like
sound, nfs, usb, etc. ....
But I can't get ppp to work. Everytime I use 'pon' to connect to the
internet I get this:
Sep 9 14:22:32 laptop pppd[535]: pppd 2.4.1 started by root, uid 0
Sep 9 14:22:33 laptop chat[536]: Can't get terminal parameters:
Input/output error
Sep 9 14:22:33 laptop pppd[535]: Connect script failed
Sep 9 14:22:34 laptop pppd[535]: Exit.
When I boot 2.4.2 again, everything works without any problems !!
I intsalled ppp 2.4.1 after I compiled the 2.4.7 kernel (I should have
read /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes more carfully)
- but that shouldn't be the problem, right? Or do I have to compile the
kernel again?
I found some information about this on the internet, but I still don't
know how to solve the problem. It says that maybe the IRQ is already
used by another device.
So here is "cat /proc/interrupts"
CPU0
0: 145848 XT-PIC timer
1: 1023 XT-PIC keyboard
2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
7: 7965 XT-PIC MS Sound System
10: 2 XT-PIC pcnet_cs
11: 7 XT-PIC Toshiba America Info Systems ToPIC97,
Toshiba America Info Systems ToPI
C97 (#2), usb-uhci
12: 4005 XT-PIC PS/2 Mouse
14: 93572 XT-PIC ide0
15: 4 XT-PIC ide1
NMI: 0
ERR: 0
and "setserial" for the modem (which is /dev/ttyS4)
/dev/ttyS4, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 5
It doesn't seem like the IRQ is already used, right?
Any ideas?
thanks a lot!
Philipp
