[KLUG Members] new kernel

[Jon Towne]

 Howdy:
      I've been running suse 7.1 with the stock 2.4.0 kernel.  As this 
seems
 buggy, I acquired, compiled and installed 2.4.9.  It works but has 2
 (problems?) so far.  One is pppd won't start, using Kppp. Here is excerpt
from /var/log/messages:

  pppd 2.4.0 started by oak, uid 500
 Sep  5 13:52:56 linux modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module tty-ldisc-3
 Sep  5 13:52:56 linux pppd[515]: Couldn't set tty to PPP discipline: Invalid
 argument
 
 Another attempt produced the same result but said this (messages)
  Serial line is looped back
 
 I have no idea what ldisk-3is.  I went back and booted to 2.4.0 and the same
 thing happened.  Then I booted with 2.2.18 and pppd worked. Following that I
 booted to 2.4.0 and pppd worked!
 
 Also my modules for vmware won't start either, and they won't start using my
 original kernel 2.4.0.

 Thanks!   Jon
