>Number: 2202 >Category: kern >Synopsis: PPP Times out and hanges up modem during Install >Confidential: no >Severity: critical >Priority: high >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Class: change-request >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Thu Dec 12 10:10:01 PST 1996 >Last-Modified: >Originator: Jesse Brown >Organization: Brown Computing >Release: 2.1.6-RELEASE and 2.2-ALPHA >Environment: Unknown. Unable to Install FreeBSD >Description: When I try to install FreeBSD (With current Boot floppies from the correct dist.) Everything goes fine, I connect to my host correctly I start downloading and uncompressing the distributions, and EXACTLY 179 seconds after I START the PPP connection, PPP hangs up the modem. I have set timeout to 600, makes no difference. I have checked integrity of the floppy, rawrited data again, to no avail. I can install good when I use win95 to download the files off the internet into a dir on my harddisk, but it is a pain. >How-To-Repeat: Unknown..... Perhaps hardware specific? I have a USR Sportster 33.6\FAX No network cards. SB CLone, ATAPI CD. 2 IDE Hard Disks, trying to install on 2nd Hard disk (210mb) >Fix: Possible bug in the timeout code? It seems to only be on the install floppy. Once I install FreeBSD, PPP works fine...... >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
