I tried to compile the 2.4.1 kernel today. The first time I put (using xconfig) the PPP stuff in the kernel. However, running rp3 (the Redhat ppp dialer) gave me a type 4 error. The pppd man page says this means that ppp is not supported by the kernel.
I then tried rebuilding the kernel and placing the ppp stuff in modules. After compiling and rebooting, I tried to insmod ppp_generic. It says there are unresolved symbols :(
Any thoughts/advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm running Redhat 7.0.

PS - I upgraded ppp and modutils (using Rawhide packages from the RedHat ftp site) before trying to compile the kernel.
PPS - Could this be a gcc problem? I know Redhat 7.0 uses an unusual version of gcc. However, I thought their gcc worked ok on the 2.4.X kernels (just not on older kernels)?
