• Bug#265780: ppp: can use with kernel 2.6 if 2.4 is still there

    From Dan Jacobson@1:229/2 to All on Sun Aug 15 01:00:11 2004

    Package: ppp
    Version: 2.4.2+20040427-1
    Severity: normal

    Weeks ago I installed and started using kernel 2.6.
    As all was well, I decided to
    apt-get --purge remove alsa-modules-2.4.26-1-k7
    apt-get --purge remove kernel-image-2.4.26-1-k7
    as I hadn't used them in ages.
    Well, now I can't call out:
    pppd: This system lacks kernel support for PPP. This could be because
    the PPP kernel module could not be loaded, or because PPP was not
    included in the kernel configuration. If PPP was included as a
    module, try `/sbin/modprobe -v ppp'. If that fails, check that
    ppp.o exists in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/net.
    See README.linux file in the ppp distribution for more details.

    # /sbin/modprobe -v ppp
    FATAL: Failed to open config file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa: No such file or directory
    etc. etc.
    Your docs don't mention 2.6 a tiny bit.
    I could use ppp on 2.6, now I must use it on 2.4!!!
