 |

Hi,
When I installed Gentoo for the first time (booting from the cd) I was able to connect to the internet. It was not easy, because my ISP uses PPPoE and Gentoo does not support it. But I read some posts about that, and I finally got it.
Now, after building the kernel and boot from harddisk, I can't connect.
My ethernet card uses "tulip" and I built it into to kernel, not as module.
When I type "adsl-start" (Im using rp-pppoe) I have a TIME OUT...However, the lights are flashing on my modem...so it can see it I guess.
In syslog file I get this:
...
...
pppd 2.4.1 started by root, uid 0
modprobe: Can't locate module tty-ldisc-
Couldn't set tty to ppp discipline
PADS: service-Name: "
read (asyncReadFrom ppp): Input/output ...
Sent PADT
Exit.
adsl-connect: ADSL connection lost ...
I hope someone can help me 
Thanks

Hi
I had the same problem and I just fixed it 2 minutes ago. The key is the line "read (asyncReadFrom ppp): Input/output error."
You need to compile PPP async support into your kernel. The kernel docs describe the option for use with serial ports and ISDN modems, but I guess ADSL applies too.
Based on "modprobe: Can't locate module tty-ldisc-..." I think you need to include PPP support for sync tty ports also.
| Code: | Network device support -> PPP support -> PPP support for async serial ports
Network device support -> PPP support -> PPP support for sync tty ports |
Thats why it worked when installing, because those options were installed with the kernel on the cd. And in my opion, the best way to install Gentoo using stage 1 or 2 with pppoe is to boot into an existing linux where networking works and chroot into Gentoo.
