Fantastisk sinanqapudan, OG du snakker norsk!
Very happy to hear that all worked well in the end
I know how it feels... I struggled for weeks to get Gentoo on the air - it was so frustrating because it was so easy with Suse and Knoppix/Debian.
You'll sleep well tonight
All the best

Hei atifjedi
Splat shows I last emerged isdn4k-utils on june 8th and development-sources-2.6.6 first on june 4th, and my adsl account started in mid-August, which means - yes -I was running isdn on 2.6.6 and 2.6.7..
I see also that .config of my current version 2.6.10-rc1 still contains the isdn subsystem section, so I don't believe isdn will vanish so fast..

Thank you Cintra,
yeah, its not vanished, but 2.6.6 just says that it's obsolete now. however I have also configured it and now using isdn4k-utils with kernel 2.6.6
but I am facing some strange problems. when my ipppd is started, after some while my tty12 is flooded with some messages like " Unable to Handle kernel NULL pointer dereference " and then my system is rebooted.
the same problem I was facing in kernel 2.4.2 using Redhat. then I shifted my HFC-PCI isdn modem to a gentoo machine with 2.6.6. but still same problem
any idea ? |

Hei again
I see from searching on 'Unable to Handle kernel NULL pointer dereference' that this is pretty frequently reported error for a number of things, that don't make a lot of sense to me.
It might help you to know that my isdn card was a pretty cheap Billion HFC-PCI, see http://www.billion.com/product/isdn/bipacpciv30.htm
Could be an idea to try one..

Hi there
This is my third try to Install Gentoo AND to setup my ISDN Connection.
Installing is no problem but ISDN don´t wants to work for me.
I have already done Suckers additional tips.
I added the resolv.conf to my /etc/ppp folder
I also tried the tip of Ghandalf,
but
it`s always the same thing.
Code: | isdnctrl dial ippp0 |
says on imon:
Code: | 1.HiSax calling mynumber net outgoing |
but after 30sec. the call will end without any result
It seems to be that Guily had the problem as well and managed it....but how?
(another problem is that i can`t look in my /var/log/messages file because it is not existing.I`ve installed metalog but there no logfile.But thats a secondary problem )
help I´am getting mad!

Hei PSykeO
If you do # rc-update show do you have
And did you # rc-update add isdn4linux default ?
What kernel are you using? What card? What does your lsmod look like? And what do you see in dmesg?
I got pretty mad too, but in the end it was worth it

Hi
Thanks for your fast reply,
I`m using the 2.6.8 Kernel and a Winbond W6692 Based Card(USR ISDN PCI Card TA).Yes isdn4linux is added by default.
my result of dmesg|HiSax shows:
Code: | HiSax:Linux Driver for passive ISDN Cards
HiSax:Version 3.5 (kernel)
HiSax:Layer1 Revision 2.46.2.5
HiSax:Layer2 Revision 2.30.2.4
HiSax:TeiMgr Revision 2.20.2.3
HiSax:Layer3 Revision 2.22.2.3
HiSax:Total 1 Card defined
HiSax:Card 1 Protokoll EDSS1 Id=HiSax(0)
HiSax:W6692 driver rev. 1.18.2.4
HiSax:ISDN PCI Card TA config irq:17 I/O:ec00
HiSax:DSS1 Rev. 2.32.2.3
HiSax:2 Channels added
HiSax:MAX_WAITING_CALLS added |
my lsmod says nothing more than
Code: | module Size Used By |
could this be the problem?
btw:metalog is added by default..but it doesnt log  _________________ u know nothin` |

Could be..
Have a look at my .config in Post: Fri Jun 25, 2004 5:59 pm
You'll see also the need to set-up the module type etc in..
# /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
and the essentials in lsmod..
hisax 236740 2
isdn 131008 3 hisax
slhc 6400 1 isdn
otherwise your dmesg looks good.
best of luck _________________ "I am not bound to please thee with my answers" W.S. |

I did the procedure that you described in your .config post.Now I have the
same problem as you had.
Code: | Verbose-level set to 3.
addif: Invalid argument
ippp0: Invalid argument
ippp0: Invalid argument
ippp0: Invalid argument
ippp0: Invalid argument
ippp0: Invalid argument
ippp0: Invalid argument

/dev/isdninfo: unknown interface: No such device
/dev/isdninfo: unknown interface: No such device
/dev/isdninfo: unknown interface: No such device
SIOCADDRT: No such device
SIOCADDRT: No such device
bash-2.05b# Sorry - this system lacks PPP kernel support.
Check whether you configured at least the ippp0 device!
|
but thats nor really a big problem...i think i only have to mknod,right?
The BIG Problem is after
I Edited the
Code: | /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 |
like you described and after this my lsmod is:
Code: |
isdn 133692 -
slhc 5992 -
|
Were is the HiSax?Where are the other things in lsmod like in your example?I`m really sure that there`s no failure in my .config file.

Oops thats a step backwards..
Ref your entry in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
have you changed my entry to your W6692 card type? I think its 36.. not 35 like mine?

I refered and I changed the type value.
Now, all error messages have been killed *horray* but connectiong will not work(dialing but not connecting *grml*)
my lsmod is now like this:
Code: | hisax 194692 -
isdn 133692 -
slhc 5992 - |
Where is the rest of this like in your example?

Thats good
What you're left with sounds exactly like sinanqapudan's above.
Not sure what you mean with "Where is the rest of this like in your example? " ?
I'ld double check resolv.conf nameservers and pap & chap secrets again.. put the secrets in both places.
What does ifconfig look like?

I can't see any light at the end of the tunnel
I also created the Chap-Secret file and i looked again in my resolv.conf files.All things Correct.
ifconfig seems to be allright(ippp0 is in there).
the point is, I've found the Metalog Log file xD (damn metalog makes no /var/log/messages)and if I try to dial in the output is:
Code: | [kernel]ippp0: dialing1 *mynumber*...
[kernel]lldata_handler unknown primitive 0x232
|
What does it mean?
Also my lsmod doesn't look like yours
Code: | hisax 194692 -
isdn 133692 -
slhc 5992 - |
Yours seems to be so:
Code: | hisax 236740 2
isdn 131008 3 hisax
slhc 6400 1 isdn |
Is it necessary that my lsmod looks like yours?

Ah, I think you are onto something there! your lsmod is quite wrong.
The numbers by isdn, hisax and slhc show the number of 'module interconnections' (I can't explain exactly what) but thats what you should chase I believe, or are all of the numbers missing?
What happens when you modprobe hisax? Try these
# modprobe -rv hisax type=36 protocol=2
in my case indicated a non-type 36 card had been selected?
#modprobe -v hisax type=36 protocol=2
and the right message should come up.
You'll get there yet  _________________ "I am not bound to please thee with my answers" W.S. |

Today I recompiled my kernel.
And now lsmod is completly correct
But there is also the same error if I try to connect.
I tried
Code: | modprobe -rv hisax type=36 protocol=2 |
but then a Fatal Error comes wich says that the Hisax is running and can not be unloaded.
Code: | modprobe -v hisax type=36 protocol=2 |
Changes nothing.
how do I stop "using hisax" to modprobe -rv it?
sers

Hei again PSykeO
Things are steadily improving
Does dmesg still look OK?
Btw have you an entry like this in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
Code: |
hisax id=hisax protocol=2 type=36
|
..and have you had isdn working on Knoppix or another distro lately? Isdn on Knoppix takes a minute to set up using 'isdn-config' - could be an idea to test it using the liveCD.. _________________ "I am not bound to please thee with my answers" W.S. |

Hiho Cintra
dmesg still looking good and I have the entry in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
I had ISDN runnig on SuSe 9.0 and on knoppix and it never was a big problem such as now. _________________ u know nothin` |

Here I am again
maybe this helps you to help me *G*
since I changed my isdn-setup like ghandalfs example and killed the isdn-initialise script I get the following if I execue isdn-setup.
Code: |
*normal isdn-setup Output*
ippp0 host name lookup failed
SIOCADDRT: No such device
|
maybe it helps

Hei PSykeO
Sounds like a DNS problem.. wish I still had isdn, then I could stick my Billion card back in the machine and try some of these things..
What do you have in /etc/hosts and resolv.conf ?
Btw, did you check gandalph's note:
"the only problem I've encountered has been the resolv.conf file. There's one in /etc/ BUT another one is mandatory to make ISDN work properly in /etc/ppp/resolv.conf "...

I'm wondering if someone can check whether when using the cui/ttyI devices from minicom if you dial a number and it fails, do you get the response code back (the Q.931 codes)? Specifically I'd like to know if the Diva v2 cards do this in the UK.
Looking at the kernel source it loks like it should but I want to be absolutely sure... |

Code: | Sorry - this system lacks PPP kernel support.
Check whether you configured at least the ippp0 device! |
Much frustration over that one and at the end it was nano's fault. Use vim when saving isdn-setup if you are using the last command over several lines (as the example has it). Otherwise, just do it as one:
Code: | /sbin/ipppd user $MYUSER remotename $REMNAME defaultroute name $MYUSER -detach mru 1524 mtu 1500 lcp-restart 1 /dev/ippp0 & |
Hope I saved someone some nerves. I'm sure nano can be configured not to fsck the line endings. _________________ .i lu doi ringos.star. xu do puku'aroroi dunli dopecaku leni virnu li'u
