modprobe: Can't locate module ppp0

Hi everybody,

I am unable to find why modprobe is unable to locate the module ppp0.
I am struggling for last three days. I have "google it", but no solution.
I have added the alias in /etc/modules.conf, but problem still occur.
I am running Redhat 8.0 on IBM Thinkpad.
Please help me. I am stuck!........

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Khalid

Note that LCP negotiations were started, else they could not be
terminated.

If the kernel one in the 2.4.x series then something outdated is asking
modprobe to find ppp0. That - ppp0 - is an alias for ppp, the name
modprobe uses to find the module ppp.o, that's built into modprobe.
The ppp.o module contained the kernel code for pre-2.4.x kernels,
but things changed and the PPP code for 2.4.x kernels is now in other
modules with different names.

If the kernel is pre-2.4.x then the ppp.o module hasn't been compiled.
That could be due to an oversight or the PPP code being compiled into
the kernel rather than as a module.

I rather doubt that pppd would start at all if the kernel didn't have
the PPP code one way or another.

Weird. The "something" mentioned above is really intent on finding "ppp0."
Could it be related to the nokia_cs script or module?

It looks to me like it's related to the module. At least there are no
more complaints about ppp0 after it was removed.

^^^^^
Indeed, and a module that works for one kernel version may not work
for another.

Try putting the line

alias ppp off

in /etc/modules.conf and see if that eliminates the modprobe complaints
above.

If it does then add the pppd debug option somewhere and use the recipe
in my signature to get a detailed log file. Post an exact copy and
maybe someone can tell why the LCP negotiations were terminated.

Hi Kite,

Thanks for your hints.
I changed the /ect/module.conf with "alias ppp0 off", now there is no
error about "modprobe: Can't locate module ppp0".
But there are still error about the LCP. Here is output of /var/log/ppp.log

Feb 24 14:47:52 duprn002-10370 pppd[1908]: pppd 2.4.1 started by root, uid 0

Feb 24 14:47:59 duprn002-10370 pppd[1908]: Exit.

why this is happening? I am using kernel 2.4.18-14, and my nokia module is
complied with this kernel.
I think this nokia script is working fine, because when I execute some
commands relating to this
script, this work fine, for example this command "nokia_ctl enable_gsm" and
so on.
How I know that "ppp0 is already up". Where this ppp0 is located. How I know
that I have ppp0 or PPP
installed or not, where this module should be located??????????
For any help....
Thank you all in advance.

Best regards,
Khalid

Did you do add the pppd debug option? With the debug option there has
to be a LCP TermReq from the peer in ppp.log at the very least.

Here's one way to add the debug option:

echo debug >> /etc/ppp/options

And here's a step-by-step recipe in case I didn't ask the right question:

1) Generate a detailed pppd/chat log file:
echo 'daemon.*;local2.* /var/log/ppp.log' >> /etc/syslog.conf
killall -HUP syslogd
echo debug >> /etc/ppp/options
Run whatever (script, kppp, wvdial, ect.) to start pppd and/or chat.

2) Post an exact copy of the messages in ppp.log (not hand-copied):
Procedure depends on the newsreader, or personal preference.

3) Clean up when done:
rm /var/log/ppp.log
sed '$d' /etc/syslog.conf > foo; mv foo /etc/syslog.conf
killall -HUP syslogd
sed '$d' /etc/ppp/options > foo; mv foo /etc/ppp/options

*Note:* All the changes to /etc/syslog.conf and /etc/ppp/options could
also be done by simply using an editor rather than the echo, sed, and
mv utilities. Making file changes by first creating foo as shown above
assumes that root's umask is 022.

I rather doubt that ppp0 was created. It's created by the kernel for
each PPP link after IPCP negotiation completes and goes away when the
link is terminated - when things go right. It not "installed" in the
sense that it exists on a drive.

"ifconfig" should show the PPP interface after PPP comes up for sending
and receiving IP data.

The PPP kernel modules you'll need are

ppp_generic.o
ppp_async.o

To check for them:

locate ppp_|egrep 'generic.o|async.o'

Assuming you have locate and it's database, they should show up in
/lib/modules/2.4.18-14/drivers/net - I think! I compile PPP directly
into my kernels so I can't be completely sure where the modules are
installed.

Yes, PPP can also be compiled directly into the kernel but that's not
likely for a kernel that comes with a distribution.

The modules will also show up in the output of "lsmod" if they are
currently inserted in the kernel.

Uh, Clifford told you how to enable debugging. Please do it. This is not
the output of a debug log. The LCP cannot be terminated by peer without
exchanging some LCP packets, and none are listed here.

You MUST place the word
debug
into /etc/ppp/options.
You must place the line Clifford told you into /etc/syslog.conf.
You must then do
killall -1 syslogd

One of those seems not to have been done.

There neither is not ever was a module called ppp0. This is bug hidden
