Message-ID: <3F15BE12.3000704@free.fr> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <3F15AF87.3000500@free.fr>
I finally found an explanation for my problem : the debian hotplug
script it not yet 2.6-aware and module-autoloading did't work any more
on 2.6* kernels...
Launching pppd/pppoatm without the speedtouch kernel module causes the
same oops also on 2.5.75-bk3.
My problem is now solved, but it remains that I really don't think that
I should have gotten a kernel oops !
Steps to reproduce:
1) Put something like this in /etc/ppp/peers/bug (probably only the last
two lines are necessary):
--------------------------
lock
persist
defaultroute
noipdefault
noauth
holdoff 4
maxfail 0
asyncmap 0
lcp-echo-interval 2
lcp-echo-failure 7
user "anonymous"
plugin /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.1/pppoatm.so
8.35
-------------------------
2) Do not load and/or remove any DSL+pppoatm kernel driver
3) pppd call bug
I really believe this is a kernel bug that should be fixed (and most
probably a pppoatm one : I don't remember ever getting such an error
when launching pppd with my pcmcia V90 modem disconnected), but from [1]
it's not clear to me who is the pppoatm kernel maintainer these days :
anybody knows to whom I should forward this bugreport ?
Best regards,
Vincent
