Post by: Anders on June 15, 2002, 02:30:11 PM

Hi There..

   I have asked my question in General and Experience Discussion, but I got NO ANSWER at all. Anyway, I wanna ask that anywhere I can my question about E-smith or anyone I can contact to through email.

anyway.. here is the details
E-smith 5.1.2 with ADSL(PPPOE)
=============================
Here is the error message from the /var/log/messages
====================================
Jun 15 03:45:04 e-smith pppoe: Bringing up ADSL link:

argument(22)
Jun 15 03:45:05 e-smith pppd[837]: 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
'.

Best Regards
Anders

I use a vanilla 5.12 with ADSL. I've had no issues. It does work.

- Is this a new install or an upgrade?

- Have you tried re-installing on a clean drive?

- Have you tried creating a new installation disk?

- Any errors during the install process?

- Is your hardware on the supported hardware list?
