adsl-start does not work for 2004.1, because adsl-connect can't find the device. (yes, i did adsl-setup before, and the network works fine ;) after creating the device with mkdev (don't know the name of the command anymore, but i copied it straight from the adsl-connect error-message), adsl-connect tells me the kernel is missing ppp-support. i also can't find a module for ppp... with 2004.0 everything worked fine... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot into the 2004.1-live-cd 2. modprobe 8139too 3. modprobe 3c59x 4. net-setup eth0 5. net-setup eth1 6. adsl-setup 7. adsl-start (does hide the adsl-connect output, so after 7 i did:) 8. adsl-connect Actual Results: adsl-start did terminate because of a timeout. adsl-connect gave me an error that ppp is missing... Expected Results: connect to the internet using pppoe, and the data i gave in adsl-start, when calling adsl-start everything was fine in 2004.0
oops, i meant: Expected Results: connect to the internet using pppoe, and the data i gave in adsl-setup, when calling adsl-start
Can you try to load the pppoe module manually and reissue adsl-setup?
I have the same problem and tyring to load the pppoe module will result in quite a few unresolved symbol. I have also check from the /proc/config that the kernel is configured with PPP=m but there is no ppp.o file in the /lib/modules directory.
I had this problem during my last gentoo install. The problem is that ppp_generic.ko can't be loaded because of unresolved symbols which are, in fact, provided by slhc.ko. I manually "modprobe slhc" and everything went on fine. I believe the modules.dep of the 2004.1 Universal CD is lacking a dependency of slhc from ppp_generic. I will check that and report later.
Try using the CD in the /experimental/x86/livecd folder on your local Gentoo mirror instead and let me know if it works. I need testing on it for 2004.2... thanks.
i'm sorry, but i'm not able to test this for the next months. maybe someone other could do it... at least my system runned fine since that. :)
I'm going to NEEDINFO this since without some testing, I can't verify anything.
