hi,
on my rh 7.0 with latest rawhide kernel, I've got two problems.
on startup the kernel can't find ppp modul, of cource since there is no
ppp modul in 2.4, but there is a group of ppp modules so it'd be useful
if ppp install some new line into modules.conf. anyway I attached the
debian default modules.conf file which is real good and IMHO it'd be
useful to put something like this into rh too (I don't know debian, but
it seems a generated file, so probably it'd be useful to do something
they do eg. the old net-pf-.. stuff and others).
another problem with nfs (and I assume this is just with 2.4 both preview
and rawhide).
boot.log contains just
-----------------
Jan 19 14:40:32 garfield portmap: portmap startup succeeded
Jan 19 14:40:33 garfield rpc.lockd: lockdsvc: Invalid argument
Jan 19 14:40:33 garfield nfslock: rpc.lockd startup failed
Jan 19 14:40:33 garfield nfslock: rpc.statd startup succeeded
Jan 19 14:40:34 garfield apmd: apmd startup succeeded
Jan 19 14:40:34 garfield random: Initializing random number generator:
succeeded
Jan 19 14:40:34 garfield netfs: Mounting NFS filesystems: succeeded
Jan 19 14:40:37 garfield netfs: Mounting SMB filesystems: succeeded
Jan 19 14:40:37 garfield netfs: Mounting other filesystems: succeeded
------------------
but on screen capture:
------------------
Starting portmapper: [ OK ]
Starting NFS file locking services:
Starting NFS lockd: lockdsvc: Invalid argument
[FAILED]
Starting NFS statd: [ OK ]
Starting up APM daemon: [ OK ]
Initializing random number generator: [ OK ]
Mounting NFS filesystems: kmem_create: Forcing size word alignment - nfs_fh
[ OK ]
Mounting SMB filesystems: [ OK ]
Mounting other filesystems: [ OK ]
------------------
but after it it works properly (ie. I able tomount nfs drives and exports
some directory). on shutdown I can't capure the screen:-(
boot.log do not contains error:
------------------
Jan 19 14:39:17 garfield nfslock: lockd shutdown succeeded
Jan 19 14:39:17 garfield nfslock: rpc.statd shutdown succeeded
Jan 19 14:39:17 garfield netfs: Unmounting NFS filesystems: succeeded
Jan 19 14:39:20 garfield netfs: Unmounting SMB filesystems: succeeded
------------------
but if you see the screen you see that after nsfslock stoped netfs try to
unmount eg. nfs devices and report (just to screen) something like:
lockd_down: no lockd running.
