Problem appears to be an order issue. ipv6 module not loaded at time of boot.sysctl running. boot.ipconfig MAY load it if forwarding and/or privacy is selected.
ipv6 doesn't load until network service is started.
On 11.4, IPv6 isn't a module any more. On e.g. SLE-11, where it is a module, adding ipv4 to the list of INITRD_MODULES in /etc/sysconfig/kernel is the best way. All IP.* variables in /etc/sysconfig/sysctl are deprecated. Using /etc/sysctl.conf for (per interface) network settings isn't really a way, because they have to be applied as soon as the interface appears, but before "ip link set up" to have an effect in many cases. So starting 'sysctl -p /etc/sysconf' after the network again does not make much sense, because it is too late. => man ifsysctl(5) More info in bug 704981 comment 2 and its references. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 704981 *** http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=704981 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
