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
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
Are you using the SuSe kernel from an RPM? or did you DL the sources and
build your own? AFAIK the SuSE update was only to 2.4.2 and this kernel has
all the default switches thrown in the .config. I would recomend that you
grab this kernel and be sure that you have the modutils package installed
for 2.4? You should also be sure that depmod -a is run.

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.
