Hi ! I have a problem to compile my 2.0.34 Kernel without modules. Previously compiled kernels used ppp as a module. If I try to use ppp now as compiled in the kernel itself (even without doing 'make modules' / 'make modules_install) my boot messages indicate that the ppp module is also loaded. How can I prevent this "feature" ;-) ???
Another problem that has to do with the one above is the following... When I use ppp (regardless wether as a module or "compiled in") the first ppp connection runs perfectly well, but the second established ppp connection terminates after several seconds. Then my ppp.log file looks as follows (IP adresses removed): pppd[6278]: Cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARP pppd[6278]: local IP address ############## pppd[6278]: remote IP address ############## pppd[6278]: sent [LCP EchoReq id=0x1 magic=0x81fa6952] pppd[6278]: Hangup (SIGHUP) pppd[6278]: Modem hangup pppd[6278]: Connection terminated. pppd[6278]: Exit. I have no serious idea what kind of proxy is mentioned above - I never configured one..?? However the problem disappears when removing the ppp module with 'rmmod ppp' after the first connection (if there are two pppĀ“s present (that is one in the kernel and one as a module)) - thats why I try to compile my kernel with ppp "inside" but I simply canĀ“t prevent the module from being loaded... Maybe some of you can help me !!
