maillist problem ??

Who did you address this mail to??

I ask as it lookes like you mail me directly without goin thru the mail list and that is strange as I know nothing about the pmac, my knowlage in ppc is only in the embedded
space.

Hello Linuxppc Developers,

for some time now I try to get a recent 2.4.x kernel to work
on my Powerbook (Lombard G3/400MHZ).

2.4.0-test7 runs fine, but with the latest linux-pmac-devel from
rsync ppc.linuxcare.com (Paul Mackeras' tree) I have problem in two
areas:
        network: the network sometimes drops out, it can be
        revived  with a restart of the network

        Error Messages: something about NAT dropping untracked messages.
        I have netfilter configured, but no special rules used at all.

        ppp: even with 2.4.0-test7 I have problems with ppp over the
        internal modem.
        I am using pppd-2.4.0 (maybe this is a problem itself)
        Sometimes the connections just hangs for a couple of seconds.
        It is not a provider issue as I encounter this with several
        providers.

        It all runs fine with 2.2.15-pre19.

        ttyS0: If I do not get a connection, the ttyS0 stops working
        after a couple of attempts. Then I cannot open it even with
        minicom (V1.82.1).

If you do not have concrete hints on how to attack my problems,
maybe you can tell me which is a good place to get a newer but
reliable kernel. (I refrain from messing with the proprietory
Bitkeeper stuff.)

And were bugs or difficulties like this can be reported proberly.

Thanks,
        Bernhard
