Gayle's current wvdial problem:
After I fixed the lilo.conf with the initrd=/initrd.img, I got the
2.6.8 kernel to run but ran into what appeared to be Bug #276020 filed
against that kernel so I went to unstable and got the 2.6.11 kernel.
It seems to manifest the same bug with wvdial.
Marty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> asked:
I just read it. Just to clarify, are you saying that you too have a
500MHz Celeron in a Dell Optiplex GX-100?
I scripted the wvdial output with the 2.6.11 kernel:
--> Looks like a welcome message.
--> Starting pppd at Fri Jun 24 16:57:55 2005
--> pid of pppd: 10581
--> Using interface ppp0
--> local IP address 216.180.4.129
--> remote IP address 216.180.14.99
--> primary DNS address 216.180.99.2
--> secondary DNS address 216.180.122.2
--> Connect time 0.1 minutes.
Note that the total connect time indicates an immediate disconnect!
--> Disconnecting at Fri Jun 24 16:58:05 2005
--> The PPP daemon has died: A modem hung up the phone (exit code = 16)
This error code is documented in the man pppd page.
--> man pppd explains pppd error codes in more detail.
--> Try again and look into /var/log/messages and the wvdial and pppd
man pages
for more information.
--> Auto Reconnect will be attempted in 5 seconds
