No PPP in 2.6.16 Kernel

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This one has me baffled. I have a system running quite happily with
kernel 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 and I use it with pptp to establish a VPN
connection. This works fine. However, both my attempts to use 2.6.16
upgrade kernels (both 2111 and 2122, shown below) have failed due to the
errors as found in the system log.

The strange thing is that I've got another machine where the upgrade
went quite happily and the PPP modules have installed without arguments.

Can anyone tell me what I'm missing? I assume I've lost a module
somewhere although the only one that ppp_generic appears to require is
slhc and that's present.

for PPP.  This could be because the PPP
kernel module could not be loaded, or because PPP was not included in
the kernel configuration.  If PPP was in
cluded as a module, try `/sbin/modprobe -v ppp'.  If that fails, check
that ppp.o exists in /lib/modules/`unam
e -r`/net. See README.linux file in the ppp distribution for more details.
