Bug#277942: issues with IPv6
Package: kernel-image-2.4.27-1-sparc64
Version: 2.4.27-1
Severity: important
Hi,
The above kernel image seems to be broken with regard to IPv6 support.
If I load the ipv6 module from /etc/modules, the kernel will end up in
a looped Oops once slapd starts (so badly that Stop-A doesn't even work
anymore). If I load it later, either manually or from a script which is
ran from init, then the system works, but it has now panic()ed on at
least two occasions when it was running for a few days.
The kernel regularly spawns the following messages:
Oct 23 14:14:47 localhost kernel: hw tcp v6 csum failed
Oct 23 14:14:48 localhost kernel: hw tcp v6 csum failed
Oct 23 14:17:07 localhost kernel: hw tcp v4 csum failed
Oct 23 14:22:25 localhost kernel: hw tcp v4 csum failed
Oct 23 14:22:56 localhost kernel: hw tcp v4 csum failed
Oct 23 14:23:53 localhost kernel: hw tcp v4 csum failed
Oct 23 14:26:25 localhost kernel: hw tcp v4 csum failed
Oct 23 14:32:09 localhost kernel: hw tcp v4 csum failed
this seems especially true during moments of high network traffic.
It should be noted that my system is an Ultra10 with a Happy Meal
network card; that my network is mainly a 10Mbit BNC one, but the
Ultra10 is connected to an el cheapo hub with a BNC connector.
If any further information is required, please ask.
