Hi All, I am happy to report that the davem version of 2.1.61 has fixed the problems I reported with the stock 2.1.61. Specifically, hdparm can put the disk into DMA mode again, and I get the CPU identified as an i586 rather than an iE86. I have not yet tried to boot this kernel w/o Cyrix processor support, so I don't know if that works or not. Unfortunatly PPP does not seem to work anymore. Here is what I get in my logfile:
Nov 5 06:52:30 Bessie pppd[245]: Serial connection established. Nov 5 06:52:31 Bessie pppd[245]: Using interface ppp0 Nov 5 06:52:31 Bessie pppd[245]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/cua2 Nov 5 06:52:32 Bessie pppd[245]: Remote message: Pass Authentication Nov 5 06:52:32 Bessie pppd[245]: local IP address 12.69.36.165 Nov 5 06:52:32 Bessie pppd[245]: remote IP address 12.69.36.1 Nov 5 06:52:32 Bessie pppd[245]: ioctl(SIOCADDRT) device route: Network is downNov 5 06:52:32 Bessie pppd[245]: LCP terminated at peer's request Nov 5 06:52:35 Bessie pppd[245]: Connection terminated. Nov 5 06:52:35 Bessie pppd[245]: Exit.
I had this happen both times I tried to start PPP under 2.1.61-davem. I rebooted into 2.0.31 and PPP works fine. I just looked in my .config file and PPP is enabled. Now that I think about it there were some new CONFIG options concering routing. I took the defaults where were off:
# # Networking options # # CONFIG_PACKET is not set # CONFIG_NETLINK is not set # CONFIG_FIREWALL is not set # CONFIG_NET_ALIAS is not set CONFIG_INET=y # CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST is not set # CONFIG_IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER is not set # CONFIG_IP_PNP is not set # CONFIG_IP_ACCT is not set # CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE is not set # CONFIG_IP_ROUTER is not set # CONFIG_NET_IPIP is not set # CONFIG_NET_IPGRE is not set # CONFIG_IP_ALIAS is not set CONFIG_SYN_COOKIES=y
I wonder if it would work if I set CONFIG_IP_ROUTER=y ? I will give it a try in a few minutes, but in any event, if it needs this to work with PPP, then I would think that enabling PPP should turn it on. Of course its quite possible that I am missing something.
Anyway, I thought that yall would like a report. Thanks for the good work.
Jim
