I've happily used RP3 (straight out of the distribution box) for months, but recently I have changed the initdefault from 5 (X) to 3 (text mode), using startx to start the X server. When I start Linux with initdefault 3, and then try to connect by clicking on the RP3 Gnome applet, it reports that it cannot activate the interface. In fact, I it does activate it, since I can access the Internet. However, it doesn't display the connection time on the icon, and I must kill pppd manually (kill -9). If I change initdefault back to 5, everything works OK agsin. As far as I can see, /var/log/message reports nothing unusual, the last lines are the assigned IP and DNS addresses.
------- Additional Comments From davidyao.com 2003-05-28 21:27 ------- In the failed p610 machine, the output memory info is looked like this: ------------------- total= 544186368; free= 3302559744 ------------------- The number is so weird. The total memory is smaller than the free one. The code which i added to get the number of the total memory and free memory is looked like: ----------------------------- total= sstats.totalram+sstats.totalswap free= sstats.freeram+sstats.freeswap ----------------------------- Same testcase in x86 is successful.
