I am just using linux kernel v2.1.26 and have encountered
two things, with might have something to do with the kernel
and its way to talk to ppp...
First thing:
I have tried to download binary files with netscape. All
files with exactly 24k (as shown by the directory listing
of the visited site) were truncated/corrupted. All other
files -- longer or shorter -- had no problems.
Second thing, more serious:
After closing the connection, I played around with pppstats.
It showed zero packets transfered currently -- seemed to
be normal, but why not reporting
ioctl(SIOCGPPPSTATS): No such device ?
(as showed after rebooting...)
Then I do a "man pppstats" and the whole thing hanged.
Rien ne vas plus.
After rebooting I found a
Feb 8 11:16:17 solfire kernel: Kernel panic: Free list corrupted
in the syslog file.
I have also two question. Every time I reboot the kernel, I am
prompted with
route forgot to specify route netmask.
(netmask is set to 255.255.255.255 as shown by route during a
ppp-connection -- every time it should be 255.255.255.0 ?!?!?!? )
Are there things wrong specified/configurated in my box?
Another thing:
Feb 7 18:45:06 solfire modprobe: Can't locate module net-pf-4
Feb 7 18:45:06 solfire modprobe: Can't locate module net-pf-5
appears every time I reboot. This modules have something to do with
appletalk. I dont use that. I have removed all things which have to
do with "appletalk" from /etc/services and /etc/conf.modules. No
"appletalk" appears in my /lib/modules/2.1.26/modules.dep.
How can I switch off these message?
