Debian MPPE HOWTO, prepackaged kernel
by James Cameron 31st December 2003
This describes how to install a prepackaged kernel with MPPE support
on a Debian GNU/Linux system. It was tested on a system installed
from a Woody CD-R, using Sid in the sources list for the second
boot.
Installation of Prepackaged Kernel
- add the following lines to the sources
list file, /etc/apt/sources.list :
# Darik Horn's kernel packaging
deb http://www.vanadac.com/~dajhorn/projects/debian-pptp woody main
|
Note: you may wish to use a text editor, or simply cat the
lines on to the end of the file using >>, but if you make
a mistake in formatting you will likely be told by the apt-get
update step.
- update the list of packages from the sources:
- upgrade to a kernel with MPPE support from Darik Horn's
repository:
apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.18-mppe
|
Note: The author had begun with the woody 2.4.18-bf2.4 kernel from the
installation CDs. Midway through this install, the author had to
follow the installation scripts hints to use another shell to edit
/etc/lilo.conf to add "initrd=/initrd.img" to the section
"image=/vmlinuz". When lilo later ran, it worked fine.
Warning: starting with the standard 2.2.20-idepci kernel included on
the woody CDs can lead to difficulties, including inability to reboot.
If you know how to solve these, please let us know.

- reboot to bring the new kernel into memory:
- test that MPPE support loads:
modprobe ppp-compress-18 && echo success
|
If the word "success" appears, then the module was loaded successfully.
A warning may appear:
Warning: loading /lib/modules/2.4.18-mppe/kernel/drivers/net/ppp_mppe.o will taint the kernel: non-GPL license - BSD without advertisement clause
See http://www.tux.org/lkml/#export-tainted for information about tainted modules
Module ppp_mppe loaded, with warnings
|
This is expected and does not change the operation of the module.
Continue
You have now installed MPPE support. Return to the Installation step in the main
HOWTO.
If you have comments on this document, please send them to the author
