Are these IPv6 errors or IPv4 errors?
Do you have something running that is trying to use IPv6?
I get 1 each "IPv6 tunneling..." and "eth0: no IPv6 routers..." each boot since I'm not using IPv6, but that is all. All IPv4 works fine.
Ok, that info is helpful. I think there may be a problem with the tg3 (Broadcom ethernet) driver for 2.6 instead of ipv6 interfering. There is a message
tg3: eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex.
that I get with the 2.4.22 kernel that I don't with the 2.6. When I do a lsmod under 2.4, I get:
tg3 52108 1
but
tg3 52108 0
which indicates that the eth0 device isn't using the driver, but the tg3 driver is loaded.
More research and RTFM'ing.
Question: how do I turn off IPv6 so I can get the server on the net and keep the ipv6 module from loading on boot? I hope I don't have to recompile the kernel....
Sorry can't help on that one.
I did find out one thing: starting with the 2.5 kernels and higher, the modules.conf file is not the place to change things; rather one must use the /etc/modprobe.conf file instead and read all about module-init-utils....
Thanks for the response!
