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
eric

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.
