Running SuSE 9.1 on a PII with 400 mHz and 209 Mb of usable memory I had some unexplained freezing of my KDE desktop. Only a reset brought me out of these freezes. Only with the last freeze I could go to Ctrl Alt F10 and found following info which I assume gives the reason of the freeze.
kernel: ppp filters (out) not running, need 12 bytes more headroom.
Even if it may be not the cause of the freeze, how can I get rid of this kernel error information? Headroom? = memory or swap? or what?
What type of modem do you have? I know there are things broken with ppp in 9.1, with a buffer overrun somewhere. I have reported it months ago, but nobody seemed to care. I would report what you said to feedback directly. Not to count the inexplicable slowness of transmission for some users (less than 1.5 kb/s). :-/ -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
