Weeks ago I installed and started using kernel 2.6. As all was well, I decided to apt-get --purge remove alsa-modules-2.4.26-1-k7 apt-get --purge remove kernel-image-2.4.26-1-k7 as I hadn't used them weeks, right. Well, now I can't call out on my modem with ppp: pppd: This system lacks kernel support for PPP. This could be because the PPP kernel module could not be loaded, or because PPP was not included in the kernel configuration. If PPP was included as a module, try `/sbin/modprobe -v ppp'. If that fails, check that ppp.o exists in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/net. See README.linux file in the ppp distribution for more details.
# /sbin/modprobe -v ppp FATAL: Failed to open config file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa: No such file or directory etc. etc. OK, I reinstall kernel-image-2.4.26-1-k7 and alsa-modules-2.4.26-1-k7 and now I can use ppp in 2.4, but not in 2.6 like I used to. So before I could happily use alsa and ppp in 2.6, but now I must use 2.4 if I even want to make a modem call. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
