Could anybody point me at the details of this fix from AA (See Below) - I can't find it on the list.
I am trying to track down a problem I have on my SMP 2.2.14 system with PPP dynamic dial-up. Somewhere near the syslog event: "Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS1" I get a total hang. Magic-Sysrq does seem to work, but it normally happens with the console blanked, and nothing is un-blanking it so no Oops!
Running with a non-modular ppp, or with ppp.o pre-inserted reduces the frequency of the problem to 1 in 10 dial-ups (its about 1 in 3 if modular) - I also found that aliasing the new 2.3.x devices char-major-108 and tty-ldisc-3 to "off" improves stability.
I'll give 2.2.15pre4 a go in the meantime.
Thanks, Steve
