I've installed the 2.4 kernel, and all went fine.
When I tried to use sndconfig, I got a msg.
saying soundcore.o is missing.
I also tried answering yes to all the sound questions I need, but it didn't help. Don't know if it should have, thought.
Also, I have a modem which is supposed to work on kernel 2.3 or newer. I tried using kppp to connect, but got a pppd timeout.
It also told me that my kernel doesnt support ppp connections, and that I try modprobe to look for the ppp module. So I
compiled the kernel with all the ppp options, except the experimental, with yes instead of module. This didn't work too.
Any idea how can I fix that?
Thanks!

Well, on the sound side of things, you may not have compiled it as a module, or you may have compiled it into the kernel (as in not as a module). At any rate, if you can figure out which kinda soundcard you got, its usually pretty easy to just do it manually. Ex. I have a soundblaster. I type:

modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=7 dma=1 dma16=5

and I am set..

If you want ppp to work with 2.4, you must upgrade pppd to version 2.4 as well.

Look for a package called ppp, or similar.

I had the same problem, after I upgraded it works perfectly.
