Hmm. Sounds like slhc doesn't get loaded. But FYI "insmod" != "modprobe". 'insmod' doesn't even know what a dependency is. 'modprobe' does. So you should get into the habit of 'modprobe'ing modules... > I suspected the problem might have been the new /etc/conf.modules file so > I put the old one back.

Could be. Try "depmod -a". Then you should be able to load ppp using "modprobe ppp". If that works, then kerneld will probably be happy too. Christian
