modem & mount trouble after debian install
I just installed debian 3.1 after having a small amount of success with libranet & kanotix & have multiple problems with it.
I managed to compile a 2.6.8 kernel to replace the 2.4 kernel i installe dwith & got my sound & lockup when logging out from kde fixed. I still have modem disconnect trouble. I'm used to using kppp & it dials, negotiates then drops off with deamon died. details sez cant get password from remote host. I had this trbl with kanotix & solved it by changing ip from static to dynamic but cant find combo of option to get this working. The only way I can connnect is to run base-config, then enable ppp. then it dials & stays connected. My usb hard drive i can mount manually (mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/temp) but not from fstab (/dev/sda1 /mnt/diskgo ntfs defaults 0 0). cant figure this out as I've always been able to use the manual mount info to get it going it fstab. both the modem & usb work ok in libranet & kanotix. |

This can usually be rectified by loading the module early in the boot process. You have to find out which module(s) you need (try 'lsmod'). Add the module name in /etc/module (might be different file in your distro). |

thanks mj. pon & poff, thats what i was looking for, especially poff.
think im getting fed up with kde in debian what with the modem & locking up the puter when logging out. still working on the usb harddrive weirdness tho. i compared etc/modules in debian & libranet 281 (where it works properly) but couldn't tell much from that, slightly diff kernels anyway. at least i can dial & hang up the modem easier. |
