I am having the same problem (PPP causes panic & reboot)

Unfortunatly the panic doesn't stay on the screen long enough
to grok much.

Currently I am running 386bsd-0.1 with the 2.3.3 patchkit,

Before I had applied the patchkit I had gotten ppp-1.1 working with
my own hacked kernel, it had NO SUCH REBOOTING problem.

So I am suspecting the 2.3.3 patchkit.

Does this make sense to anyone?

I have rebooting problems with Julians new SCSI streaming tape stuff too.

Sigh....

I should also note that I am running on a 486-50DX, and
get bunch'o ISA stray interrupt 0xff, or 0x1ff messages too.
