BL2 kernel 2.2.16 (my custom kernel with framebuffer support)

insmod slhc
insmod -f ppp2214
insmod -f ltmodem  (for 2.2.12-20)

I got complaints about kernel mismatch, tainting the kernel, and forced 
load, but it recognized the modem at ttyS14.

eznet up 3
(this is set to use /dev/ttyS14, 4 is set for ttyST0 and 2.2.26)


Dialed.....and a lot of stuff about unable to handle kernel 
paging request at firtual adress 60000000 current-> tss.cr3 = 
....................... and stuff about registers (eax, ebx...)
Stack  Call Trace  Code
pppd failure ...

I was then unable to dial on the other computer which is linked to this 
one via a phone cord between the modems.  Serial device is looped back, 
just made an odd noise.

ppp-off (on first computer with ltmodem)  - no such pid

ps  - listed the processes and then when I exited:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereferences at virtual address 
000000014  Oops CPU EIP EFLAGS and more registers ...
Kernel panic:

The modem is now working on the second computer.
I can switch vts on the first computer but nothing happens when I type in 
the new VT so I will power off (can't reboot, no response).

I tested the ltmodem in BL3 before with 2.2.26 and Ken's setup, which 
works.  I have not tested 2.2.26 in BL2 (first I had to downgrade the 
glibc).  I have not tested 2.2.16 in BL3.  Should I bother to do so?

David, do you want to try these two modules with 2.2.16 in BL2?
I would like the option of going online with BL2 because I have it working 
with links2 graphical svgalib (from Delilinux), and xpdf (in case I need 
to view pdf files while online and don't want to bother with pdftoppm), 
and I want a framebuffer-scsi kernel smaller than bzimage.big.

Maybe I should download the 2.2.26 kernel source and give up on 2.2.16.
How big is it?
