changed to 2.4.16 - problems with PPP and USB
Hi All, I've just shifted my potato install to 2.4.16 and am having
problems getting PPP or USB storage to work. The modules loaded are the
same (as far as it goes) as I have with 2.2.19. I've looked around as much
as I can to find what might be causing the problem, to no avail. The
relevant details (I hope) are below (roughly split according to either PPP
or USB problem).
PPP:
I have no idea what to do here - is there something that 2.4.x does
differently with the serial connection for PPP?
USB:
The appropriate USB modules are loaded and the /proc/bus/usb has the right
details for drivers and devices, but it still doesn't seem to recognise
/dev/sda4 as a block device (according to the documentation I've looked at
and the fuzzy memories I have when I used to run the 2.3 USB backport this
should work).
thanks for any help
