SuSE Linux 5.2 is not ready for the 2.2 kernel. You need to change several things to get everything working. Have a look at /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes for further info.

So how about U.S. 6.0 which I was told we out in the first week of Feb. 1999 ? Will this be 2.2 ready ? -Dee - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

All it really takes is to make sure the right program versions are installed etc. to generate this 'readiness', something I'm sure S.u.S.E. can handle. Of course, some of us are running it already, with no major issues...including ppp. My guess is you failed to upgrade to the right version of ppp, and that's why it broke for you. Most people don't check Documentation/Changes before building and trying to run a new kernel....One of these days people will take seriously that the docs included with packages ( including a Linux kernel ) really aren't their just to cheat you out of diskspace. They are truly there to help people get programs etc. running properly... I can't speak for S.u.S.E. but given the lack of difficulty in making it 'ready' I'm sure if they say ( as they do on their website) it will be 2.2 'ready' it will be.
