I apologize for the ppp repost. In addition to my Gentoo problems, |
| 2 |
an unco-ordinated MX change resulted in me not getting 36 hours worth of |
| 3 |
mail, so I've probably missed any replies to that. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
OK, so I waited a while between kernel upgrades *AND* there was a |
| 6 |
layout upgrade in the meantime. Let's just say that "make oldconfig" |
| 7 |
did *NOT* work very well. I got kernel panic, and it wouldn't boot. I |
| 8 |
hauled out the install CD, booted, chrooted, re-emerged kernel 2.6.16-r7 |
| 9 |
(yeah. I know, still "behind the times"), and manually entered all the |
| 10 |
stuff in "make menuconfig", and rebuilt the kernel. On bootup it |
| 11 |
complained about /etc/conf.d/net and pointed me to a new example file. |
| 12 |
I changed a couple of entries to... |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
config_eth0="192.168.123.252 broadcast 192.168.123.255 netmask 255.255.255.248 mtu 1454" |
| 15 |
routes_eth0=("default via 192.168.123.254") |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
...and rebooted. One less complaint. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
I still have 2 problems. During bootup, I get... |
| 20 |
==================================================== |
| 21 |
* Loading iptables state and starting firewall ... |
| 22 |
FATAL: Module ip_tables not found. |
| 23 |
iptables-restore v1.3.5: iptables-restore: unable to initializetable 'raw' |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |

| 26 |
Try `iptables-restore -h' or 'iptables-restore --help' for more informat [ !! ] |
| 27 |
==================================================== |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
There seem to be a lot more entries for iptables, netfilter, and |
| 30 |
xtables (huh???) than I remember. I obviously missed something |
| 31 |
somewhere. Any idea from the error message which "make menuconfig" item |
| 32 |
it was? Even though I'm behind a NATting ADSL router-modem, I'm taking |
| 33 |
down eth0, except when up/down loading email and news. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Secondly, whilst trying to emerge/update ppp, I get |
| 37 |
===================================================== |
| 38 |
>>> checking ppp-2.4.3-patches-20060707.tar.gz ;-) |

* Gentoo is moving toward common configuration file for all network |
| 40 |
* interfaces. Thus starting from >=ppp-2.4.3-r10 the following files |
| 41 |
* are obsoleted and should be removed to avoid future confusion: |
| 42 |
* /etc/conf.d/net.ppp0 - conflict with baselayout |
| 43 |
* /etc/init.d/net.ppp0 - conflict with baselayout |
| 44 |
* /etc/ppp/chat-default - unused by this version |
| 45 |
* /etc/ppp/options-pppoe - unused by this version |
| 46 |
* /etc/ppp/options-pptp - unused by this version |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
* If you use the old net.ppp0 script, you need to: |
| 49 |
* - upgrade to >=sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.0_pre11 |
| 50 |
* - set ppp0 parameters in /etc/conf.d/net (see example file) |
| 51 |
* - remove conflicting files |
| 52 |
* - upgrade net-dialup/ppp |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
* If you never used net.ppp0 script, just run the following commands: |
| 55 |
* rm //etc/conf.d/net.ppp0 //etc/init.d/net.ppp0 //etc/ppp/chat-default //etc/ppp/options-pppoe //etc/ppp/options-pptp |
| 56 |
* emerge --resume |

I'm on baselayout-1.12.4-r7, and I invoke ppp for dialup with |
| 69 |
pon/poff. I use pppconfig for setup. Is it safe for me to delete the |
| 70 |
files? |
