Linux-1.3.10
ppp-2.2b3
My computer is a 486 dx4-100 if this will help to diagnose the problem,
though I don't really see how. So you can get any other information that
might be necessary I have included the output from dmesg, which BTW shows
the error which appears as follows:
unregister_netdev: device 'ppp0' unlinked
unregister_netdev: device 'ppp1' unlinked
unregister_netdev: device 'ppp2' unlinked
unregister_netdev: device 'ppp3' unlinked
Now for the printout of my dmesg for hopefully usefull information for
debugging:

I hope someone finds this information useful. Thanks. And two other
questions if someone doesn't mind:
I have my console set to vga, this is because I have a Diamond Stealth
64c w/2 megs vram (PCI). The card is a nice card, my only problem is htat I
can't find any way to get it supported. ???
And the other thing. I have a dual media (3 1/2 and 5 1/4) mitsumi floppy
drive. And I do still use dos sometimes for games (yuck) and I can't have
my 3.5" drive as drive A: because then it's not recognized in linux. TO
have it as A: i have to have it switched in my Phoenix bios, which linux
doesn't like. But if I have my 5.25 as A: it works fine in both places
except that most bootdisks and install disks are A:. thanks. Also, anyway
to support drvspace? Thanks.
