I can barely call myself hacker, but I try to run latest kernel revisions on a variety of machines as an exercise in masochism.
I just patched up to 2.0.17 on a GW2K, 16MB Pentium, ELF, etc. etc.
I have had essentially rock-stable performance with previous kernel versions. B/c I had read about problems with 15 & 16, I went 14->17.
When I use PPP, the instant that the ppp daemon sends
"Connect ppp0 <--> /dev/cua0"
I am dead in the water. Nothing in the log files, but the system crashes totally and has to be reset-ed.
It's been months since I've had a ppp problem, way back into the 1.3.xx source tree. I run ppp out of X, and probably ain't astute enough to rework it to be done from a console.
If there's some obvious dumb thing I'm doing, I'd be glad to hear about it.
Thanks.
