It's a long story but it worked. I have just upgraded to R5 of the LinuxPPC distribution (linuxppc.com) which has the 2.2.6 kernal. I used my same scripts to connect with ppp to my ISP. But the new pppd and chat programs. I have now expierenced serveral kernal crashes when running Netscape, and once with rlogin. The last of which destroyed my file system and now I can't even log in. Very disapointing. I have emailed the linuxppc-user list concerning this issue and apparently others have the same problem but no one knows how to fix it. I know the kernal goes down because I can not even telnet to the box. Well maybe telnetd just went down, but I can't even get a getty to shut the machine down and that is why the file system is hosed. Is there something different between the kernals concering serial support? And if so what can I do about it? I sent something to the linuxppc-user list but the only response I got back was "I just don't use Netscape" Well the problem happened with rlogin and I don't see any reason Netscape (a user program) could mess up the kernal. If just Netscape were crashing that would be a different issue. Can anybody help me with this. Thanks Ira Weiny iweiny@acm.org [[ This message was sent via the linuxppc-dev mailing list.
