Subject: what all has changed in ppp?

sorry, I haven't been keeping up with the changes in 2.5, but I can't get
pppd to work with 2.5.59, it dies with error code 1 while it works alright
with 2.4.20...

This is the first 2.5 kernel i've tried out, first I went for a wild goose
chase in finding a version of modutils to go with the shiny new bzImage,
then I finally downloaded module-init*, and installed it over the previous
tools, then I remembered that I still might have to use 2.4 (which I am), so
I fetched modutils again and installed it, then I installed module-init*
with make *specialoption*, and then (aaah, finished...)but no, I cannot
dial to my isp...
pppd dies with error code 1

Also, Does a Pentium4 have a local APIC? IO APIC?
I selected it anyway in the kernel config, and it shows some warning message
at boot:

Is anything wrong with this?
thank you very much for reading/replying

You need to look in the system log files (typically /var/log/messages) to
see why pppd isn't happy.

Oh yes, sorry I forgot, module tty_ldisk3 cannot be found, so ppp dies with
exit status 1...
I didn't think ppp needs anything other than ppp_generic, the serial driver
for ppp and the compression modules...
What is tty_ldisk3? could you help me on this?

Also, I haven't been able to solve the cpu problem...
and also, modprobe warns of unknown symbols in /etc/modules.devfs...although
the 2.4 kernel works fine...

It's the ppp line discipline. Add to /etc/modules.conf:

alias tty-ldisc-3 ppp_async
