Is there some good reason why IPV6 is built into the kernel rather than as a module?
boot speed. But I thought we relented and pulled it out recently. What kernel flavor are you using?
2.6.37-rc3-git1-6-desktop from 11.4 M4 installed via "NET install i586 Build 0909".
There are a lot of systems where every DNS lookup has to timeout on the IPV6 lookup, thus IPV6 must be disabled. When it is a module, the YaST setting suffices, but if built in, it must be disabled on the kernel boot line in GRUB. That is confusing.
Agreed, I thought those issues were resolved already. Wasn't there a bug somewhere for this?
Perhaps, but I have not seen it. Larry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
