Re: Sparc64 U60: no iptables
Hello -
I would like to confirm this problem and reverting the patch provided
does fix the problem!
I have an ultra 60, dual processor.
gentoo linux gentoo-sources 2.6.13-gentoo-r2
Whenever i would enable the iptables modules (ip_tables)
(ip_conntrack), execute the two commands iptables -X iptables -F and
Ping any address ( including the loopback address)
i would get an oops.
I would just like to throw out my encounter with the problem and
confirm that the reversion of the below patch, fixes the problem and i
am able to use iptables with an smp kernel.
if i am commiting a mailing list no no by posting this please let me
know, but i thought it would be helpful to confirm this event.
Also is there a bugzilla type system for the linux kernel?
Thank you all for all your work!
any questions please let me know, i am also willing to report a bug
report if there is such a system in place.
