Topic: Howto Kernel upgrade.

Yes,
I did follow step 7 and have verified that the alias is there.  Are you making pptp connections to this test server or through this test server.  I seem to be having problems with making connections through my test server.  I can make pptp connections to it all day long, with no trouble.

thanks

[MasterSleepy]

You are right, I teste by connecting directly to the teste server.
try the following command at the command line :

Code: [Select]

/sbin/iptables --append INPUT -p GRE -j ACCEPT
But normally nothing have change with firewall rules.

Regards.

Master Sleepy,

Tried that, but it did not help.  Checked the message log, but did not find any reference to the outgoing pptp connection.  I am going to load the dev tools and try to compare the two different kernel's options.
I'll let you know what I find.

MasterSleepy,
I have upgraded another test box.  As long as I don't install the iptables rpm, things seem to work fine.  What is the iptables file for?  Is it an update to iptables?

Thanks for the great work you have been doing.

Hello Marco,

Great thanks to make the test and for the feedback.

The update of iptables is needed if you want to use new feature that are include in the new kernel, like iptables string,mms, h323,... modules.
Effectively there is a 1.2.11 version of iptables, I need to update whole packages.

Solution are near for kernel, but style have some problems, I'm no the good way to find the solution  

Regards.

Sorry, newbie, here, (with a slow connection!) Does the howto say in detail how to update the kernel?

Also am I right in thinking that the new kernels support SATA raid?

[MasterSleepy]

Hy,

If every things goes fine, here is the supported SATA hardware in the new kernel:

Serial ATA (SATA) support
   ServerWorks Frodo / Apple K2 SATA support (EXPERIMENTAL)
   Promise SATA TX2/TX4 support (EXPERIMENTAL)
   Promise SATA SX4 support (EXPERIMENTAL)
   Silicon Image SATA support (EXPERIMENTAL)
   SiS 964/180 SATA support (EXPERIMENTAL)
   VIA SATA support (EXPERIMENTAL)
   Vitesse VSC-7174 SATA support (EXPERIMENTAL)

Regards.

currently i'm running e-smith 5.6, with freeswan-1.99_2.4.18_27_7.x-0.i386.rpm and the associated module rpm as well.

i'm about to upgrade to SME 6, and hopefully i dont brake the ipsec too much.. obviously i have to install the ipsec compiled to the newer kernel, however, i will be upgrading to this kernel as well.. so might do it all at once..

has anyone else got ipsec/freeswan running for vpn with sme6 and this latest kernel?

if so, please let me know of any problems you encounted

[MasterSleepy]

Hello danny,

I've include the freeswan kernel patch in this futur kernel.

Regards.
