Yes, I forgot that it's built into the kernel. What was the problem
again? :)

No such file or directory.


Searching the /lib/modules/2.2.10/net
I find ppp.

But searching the /lib/modules/2.4.18-apus/kernel/net
I don't find ppp.

Do you know if ppp exist somewhere else?
It is really bad not having ppp working with Linux, besides
that, I don't have any working graphics either, since someone
told me earlier that Xfree86 4.1.x doesn't work with AGA, and
that definitely seems to be the case.

Hi!

I can't find the ppp module for 2.4.18-apus, does
it even exist for the 2.4.x yet?

Okay, now the sound works! :)
But I still need to get the ppp working. I haven't found a ppp module
within the 2.4.18-apus kernel package, where is it?
I could find this in the 2.2.10 kernel...

Invitation to the Oldenburg Linux Developers Meeting 2002 (fwd)

[Roman Z. <zi...@li...>]

Hi,

In case someone hasn't seen it yet. If nothing goes wrong I'll be there,
so maybe someone also has the possibility to get there.
If someone has problems with nonbooting hardware (hint, hint :) ), I can
look at these problems myself and try to debug them.
Anyway, I'd be happy to meet some APUS people there. :)

bye, Roman

Subject: Invitation to the Oldenburg Linux Developers Meeting 2002

Hallo everybody,

it has taken some time, but we now have the final confirmation from
Oldenburg University that we can use the ususal rooms again, so I am
happy to announce the 7th Oldenburg Linux Developers Meeting.
A short overview:

What:  Oldenburg Linux Developers Meeting 2002
Who:   Every developer interested in Linux on non-i386 platforms
When:  September, 26th to 28th (thursday afternoon to sunday evening)
Where: Oldenburg University, science building in Oldenburg-Wechloy,
       northern Germany (roughly west of Bremen)

The meeting is organized by Martin 'Joey' Schulze. It's aim is to work in
common on the non-i386 Linux ports and related topics and to further the
exchange of ideas and discussion about the several ports. And of course: to
have fun :-).

If you have not attended the previous meetings, you might like to take a
look at the meetings' website at http://oldenburger.linuxtage.de/devel.html.

Attendance is free of cost (although we would like to ask you to give some
Euros for food and beverage). You don't have to attend from thursday, it's
an offer for those of you who would like to and who can afford to come
early. If you can't make it that early, just join when you can afford it.

We have two rooms, one for hacking, one for sleeping. Please bring a
sleeping bag / camping mat, towels, shower stuff and so on with you as well
as a plate, cutlery and a coffee mug. There is a university sports building
next to the one we stay in, which has showers we can use.
Besides this, of course you need to bring the technical stuff with you:
computers, monitors, technical documentation, multiple-power-sockets for
your systems, network cabling and hubs or switches. The university kindly
provides us with network connectivity to the main room, but we need to
build the LAN within the room ourselves.

A description of how to get to the science building in Oldenburg-Wechloy
is available at http://oldenburger.linuxtage.de/lt1999/anfahrt.html
(currently German only). Two maps showing the way are available at

http://oldenburger.linuxtage.de/Oldenburg1998/ol1.jpg
(highway to Oldenburg-Wechloy)

and

http://oldenburger.linuxtage.de/Oldenburg1998/ol_w.jpg
(from the highway to the science building)

If you would like to attend the meeting, please send back the following
form, so that we can calculate space, power and food.

Name_________________:

Date of arrival______: ( ) Thursday, Sept. 26th
                       ( ) Friday, Sept. 27th

uname -a

Linux Gandalf 2.4.18-apus #1 Wed Sep 4 23:01:36 UTC 2002 ppc unknown

update-modules does some disk access but gives no text-output.

Btw. Since the topic of this mail is about modem, I should have written
down that it was about the modem and not the sound, my mistake. In any
case neither of these works, at the moment.

What does uname -a say? Does update-modules run without problems, or
what's in /etc/modules.conf?

/dev/ttyS0 is the device which is used by pppconfig.
But when I use pon provider, nothing happens. Although
I have made an input where I stated the correct
preferences for my ISP.

depmod -a gives no errors. No modules is installed upon
startup, and when I try to start a module using modprobe
I get unresolved dependencies. I really don't know what
to do except trying another kernel.

Is PPP really supposed to work with the 2.4.18-apus
kernel? My old experience with older kernels gave me
problems when I was trying to use modules, but when I
compiled my own kernel with the necessary utilities
compiled into the kernel, these utilies started to work.

So at the present, I need a working 2.4.18-apus(or newer)
kernel with ppp and some other stuff compiled into
the kernel.

Well, the onboard SCSI controller or the CSPPC controller.

Is this what you wanted to hear?

Or do you want to know anything about the cabling, drive models, etc.?

its /dev/ttyS0

you have to give the full device path to such comms programs.

why does module loading fail?  have you examined
the contents of your /lib/modules/{kernel-version} directory
fully?

no, no support.  Elbox themselves stated they'd
be supporting their PCI under Linux a while
ago - probably to throw some heat away from 
themselves...certainly they've never asked
questions to APUS developers etc

Because you seem to be the only one facing this problem, so it smells like
either an oddball setup on your end or maybe even a hardware problem.

Hi,
I am still having problems configuring XFree86-4, I have edited various X config files without success. I have included both my XF86Config-4 and the
error log. I have experimented with almost all the different configs I have come across. 
The point in the log where things go wrong is quite obvious but up till now has not been explained.
As usual any help is much appreciated, but for a while I have been at a complete standstill. (I am using a 2.2.10 kernal)
I'm sorry to keep asking questions, but once this is working I can get on with using my system with little or no tinkering.
