My distro. is Suse 7.0 1. Modem Does Not Function After Upgrade to Kernel 2.4.3 From 2.2.16 I have received advice from the group that I need to upgrade my kernel ppp. I have d/l'ed the latest ppp.rpm from this address--- ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/7.1/suse/n1/ppp.rpm. I intalled it but modem still will not work. When I installed the new ppp.rpm I received error messages saying it conflicted with the old one. Do I need to uninstall the old ppp? How did the old ppp show up in the new kernel, anyway? 2. Floppy Diskette Will Not Mount After Upgrade to Kernel 2.4.3 I have tried many different options in kernel configuration that might relate to using the floppy diskette drive, but still no go. I continue to get the same error every time I try "mount /floppy"------ /dev/fd0 has wrong major or minor number. I was experiencing the same problem trying to mount the cdrom drive, but something I chose in kernel config. fixed the problem. I can't find anything similar for the floppy drive problem. 3. No Sound Since Upgrade to Kernel 2.4.3 My SB Live is recognized under Yast. No problems there. The proper driver for the SB Live loads upon booting the kernel. The cdrom drive can read data from CD's; however, when I try to play an audio CD, not a peep of sound comes out of the soundcard jacks. Thank you for your time and help. Mike michael.flug@snet.net
