Hi everyone.. 1. I got the kernel hang when I tried to run pppd without any argument on the console (tty1 or tty2...); just try to run pppd Sorry I can not copy all text here but this problem is re-producible and wont happen if I run on pts/1 (for example on xterm or rxvt ) pppd version 2.4.x kernel 2.4.5-ac1 Debian 2.2.r3 with support for running kernel 2.4.x (means every utilities is Ok) i486 100Mhz 35Mb RAM all kernel compile with gcc 2.95.2 2. Another thing I noticed is 2.4.5-ac1 uses more swap than 2.4.4 in the same situation and in my machine, performance is a bit worse than 2.4.4 (have not test with 2.4.5). 3. In parport_pc.c the error: parport_pc_find_ports 2618 too many arguments to function parport_pc_init_superio when compiling modules IF YOU DONT ENABLE PCI support in the kernel config. From 2.4.4-pre6 up (not sure exactly 6 or 5 something). First I dont know why nobody reports this problem, but later I know the reason is PCI is disabled. when trying to read the code in parport_pc.c . And unfortunately I got the rather rare machine not having PCI Bus... so from that on I have to select PCI even I dont have PCI system.
