I did an "apt-get upgrade" and, now, when I execute "pon", my modem won't connect. The modem seems to be making the same connection sounds as before the upgrade; also, the modem is working in Window98.
I have syslog records from before/after the upgrade. After upgrade, I notice this message: kernel: ttyS: 1 input overrun(s) In the remainder of this posting, I provide the following information: - miscellaneous command-line - /etc/ppp/peers/provider - successful syslog before the upgrade - unsuccessful syslog after the upgrade Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've run dry on ideas and am on the verge of doing a reinstall of Debian. ============================================= ============================================= ============================================= ==== start of miscellaneous command-line ==== $ setserial -bg /dev/ttyS* /dev/ttyS0 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A /dev/ttyS1 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A /dev/ttyS2 at 0x03e8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A $ setserial -aq /dev/ttyS2 /dev/ttyS2, Line 2, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 4 Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0 closing_wait: 3000 Flags: spd_normal skip_test ==== end of miscellaneous command-line ==== ==== start of /etc/ppp/peers/provider ==== # This optionfile was generated by pppconfig 2.3.2. # # hide-password noauth connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/provider" debug /dev/ttyS2 115200 defaultroute noipdefault user "###MY_USER_ID###" remotename provider ipparam provider usepeerdns ==== end of /etc/ppp/peers/provider ==== ==== start of successful syslog before the upgrade ==== Jun 30 08:59:23 box pppd[10108]: pppd 2.4.1 started by knoppix, uid 1000 Jun 30 08:59:24 box chat[10112]: abort on (BUSY) Jun 30 08:59:24 box chat[10112]: abort on (NO CARRIER) Jun 30 08:59:24 box chat[10112]: abort on (VOICE) Jun 30 08:59:24 box chat[10112]: abort on (NO DIALTONE) Jun 30 08:59:24 box chat[10112]: abort on (NO DIAL TONE) Jun 30 08:59:24 box chat[10112]: abort on (NO ANSWER) Jun 30 08:59:24 box chat[10112]: abort on (DELAYED) Jun 30 08:59:24 box chat[10112]: send (ATZ^M) Jun 30 08:59:25 box chat[10112]: expect (OK) Jun 30 08:59:25 box chat[10112]: Zz^PCARRIER^M Jun 30 08:59:25 box chat[10112]: ATZ^M^M Jun 30 08:59:25 box chat[10112]: OK Jun 30 08:59:25 box chat[10112]: -- got it Jun 30 08:59:25 box chat[10112]: send (ATDP###My_ISP_Number####^M) Jun 30 08:59:25 box chat[10112]: expect (CONNECT) Jun 30 08:59:25 box chat[10112]: ^M ---no "kernel: ttyS: 1 input overrun(s)" occurs Jun 30 08:59:50 box chat[10112]: ATDP###My_ISP_Number####^M^M Jun 30 08:59:50 box chat[10112]: CONNECT Jun 30 08:59:50 box chat[10112]: -- got it Jun 30 08:59:50 box chat[10112]: send (\d) Jun 30 08:59:51 box pppd[10108]: Serial connection established.
