-From seeing your problems, I'd say: have you read the
Documentation/Changes file from the kernel sources? You have to upgrade
the PPP daemon (pppd 2.4.0b1), add a line to /etc/fstab to mount the
virtual shm filesystem

When upgrading to a major version of the kernel, you should have a look
at the Changes file, as it can be very helpful!

Perhaps the HOWTO is not up-to-date with the latest kernels.

This relates to the second IDE interface (hdc/hdd).
