From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20031230 Description of problem: I downloaded kernel-2.6.0-1.109.i686.rpm from http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/2.5/RPMS.kernel/ and installed and reboot. After reboot, I tried adsl-connect with SYNCHRONOUS option but failed. Then I read '/var/log/messages' , I found following messages (excerpts) Jan 2 04:19:35 localhost pppd[1560]: pppd 2.4.1 started by root, uid 0 Jan 2 04:19:35 localhost pppoe[1561]: Unable to set line discipline to N_HDLC. Make sure your kernel supports the N_HDLC line discipline, or do not use the SYNCHRONOUS option. Quitting. Jan 2 04:19:35 localhost pppd[1560]: Couldn't get channel number: Input/output error Jan 2 04:19:35 localhost pppd[1560]: Exit. So I ran 'rpm -q --fiilesbypkg kernel |grep hdlc', and found there is no 'n_hdlc.ko'. (but that is provided with kernel-2.6.0-1.21 in fedora/core/development repository) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.0-1.109 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: always using the package Actual Results: can't use syncronous PPP Expected Results: arjanv's kernel include n_hdlc.ko and we run PPP with syncronous option Additional info:
CONFIG_N_HDLC=m .....
Thank you, but I know that solves this problem. And that doesn't solve the default package you provide still missing n_hdlc.ko... hmmm... Maybe, is it feature of the package you keep in http://people.redhat.com/arjanv ? If that is true, I understand the difference between the 2.6 kernel in rawhide and the kernel you privide. But in the case, you should add brief packaging-policy to readme.txt, or try to sync files between two, IMHO. It seems Brian C. Huffman also wonder the difference. http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2004-January/msg00015.html thanks jigorou
teh CONFIG option is already enabled fwiw ah found it; HDLC config option depends on SERIAL_NONSTANDARD option which wasn't set...
I verified the file 'n_hdlc.ko' in the package 'kernel-2.6.0-1.118.i686.rpm'. Thank you for your kindness. And I have to say "I'm sorry." to you about having you workd unnecessary work for development. I finally got your work around kernel and goal, but my realizing came too late... best regards jigorou
