Hi Mike,
As suggested I have renamed the pre4 kernel into 2.1.136, and the problem
disappeared!
The bug seems to be in ipppd/sys-linux.c. Decode_version() stumbles
over the '-pre4'. Attached is is a suggested workaround for
ipppd 3.0beta2. But probably it is more easy to remove the definition
of 'EXTRAVERSION' in the top level Makefile, delete
include/linux/version.h and rebuild the kernel. I guess EXTRAVESRION
will disappear with the final 2.2.0 kernel anyway.
Regards
Harri
