Hello,

I have a HP 712/100, I will install my HP station on Adsl gateway. For this, i need make a pptp or pppoe connexion.

When, the debian install kernel 2.4.0-32, when i start pppoe or pptp connexion, the pppd is launch and just after all system is block. With the last kernel version (2.4.9-pa45) downloaded on paris-linux site. When, i start pptp connexion, he has a kernel panic.

I have check the mailing-list archive. And i haven't found a begin of solution.

Maybe, do you have see this problem under the past ?

Thanks Stéphane DUTOT.

I was using ppp in the past to connect via a c3k and filed
the following bug:

I haven't tried again recently.

I've just had a look at this.  Seems to be a problem related to
the kernel trying to invoke non-existant usermode helper progs.

I created a script /sbin/hotplug containing just


#!/bin/sh
echo hotplug: $* > /dev/console


and my kernel no longer crashes when trying to establish an async
ppp link.  Instead, I get this in syslog:

Mar 20 16:24:33 merlin pppd[221]: Serial connection established.
Mar 20 16:24:34 merlin insmod: Note: /etc/modules.conf is more recent than /lib/modules/2.4.9-32/modules.dep
Mar 20 16:24:34 merlin pppd[221]: using channel 1

Mar 20 16:24:35 merlin pppd[221]: read: Resource temporarily unavailable
Mar 20 16:24:35 merlin pppd[221]: read /dev/ppp: Resource temporarily unavailable
Mar 20 16:24:36 merlin pppd[221]: rcvd [LCP ConfAck id=0x1 <asyncmap 0x0> <magic 0x7837ff6f> <pcomp> <accomp>]
Mar 20 16:24:38 merlin pppd[221]: sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <asyncmap 0x0> <magic 0x7837ff6f> <pcomp> <accomp>]
etc
etc

I guess next I need to figure out what is causing the "Resource
temporarily unavailable" (assuming that is an error).

iirc we have had problems with non-existant usermode helpers before,
and had to turn module support off until we had modutils ported.

Don't forget to chmod +x that script.

The real problem there was that I was using the wrong authentication
method for my isp.  Once I set that right the link came up.
