Ok, then there is a workaround, thanks.
But the bug is not solved as there is no reason to compile ipv6
integrated in the kernel. More over the ipv6.disable is not documented.
"man bootparam" do not show it, "grep -ri ipv6
/usr/src/linux-*/Documentation" give no hint and I did not found it
anywhere. I also did try "grep -r module_param_named /usr/src/linux/net"
but it is not found that way too. On the other hand, if ipv6 is compiled
as module it is pretty easy to switch it off.
Regards
Klaus
