PPP and HiJack

Hi,

I might be missing something really obvious here (it's happened before!), but is there any way to get pppd working with a HiJack kernel? I like the Hijack features (so I don't want to go back to vanilla kernels), but I'd also like to get my iPaq talking to the empeg so ppp would be good. Anybody got any pointers?

Cheers,

Gavin

PPP is not enabled in the vanilla kernels, either.

Just grab the Hijack sources and toolchain, reconfigure and rebuild your own custom hijack'd kernel with CONFIG_PPP=y.

Thanks for that; I knew that the vanilla kernels didn't have PPP either but I wasn't being clear enough :-)

I've got the toolchain, sources and patches, and I've edited the config file. Now what? The usual make dep; make; make modules?

Thanks,

Gavin

export PATH="/usr/local/armtools-empeg/bin:$PATH"
make oldconfig && make dep && make clean && make bzImage

Hmm; tried that - it makes sense up until "make bzImage", which gives me:

make: *** No rule to make target `bzImage'.  Stop.

A make zImage in the same place gives errors compiling kftpd.c

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thanks for your help on this, by the way - if you've got something better to do today then don't consider this urgent! :-)

Cheers,

Gavin

Oh, my apologies: make zImage

instead of make bzImage (which is what I use everywhere else..)

When it finishes, the file arch/arm/boot/zImage is your new Hijack kernel.

Cheers

I do NOT get errors compiling kftpd.c with make zImage.

Oh wait.. missed a step (I have scripts to remember/do all of this for me..). Let's try again:

export PATH="/usr/local/armtools-empeg/bin:$PATH"

cp arch/arm/def-configs/empeg-car2  .config

make oldconfig && make dep && make clean && make zImage

cp arch/arm/boot/zImage my.kernel.zImage

Cheers

Thanks very much; that compiles smoothly, so I'll play with PPP now. Thanks again!

Gavin

You're welcome.

And you're welcome on board, too!
