https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=214303 Summary: setting an mtu of 7200 on a gig-e interface causes sig- seg at startup Product: SUSE Linux 10.1 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jnelson-suse@jamponi.net QAContact: qa@suse.de The offending line appears to be: ip link set $INTERFACE up ${MTU:+mtu $MTU} \ ${LLADDR:+address $LLADDR} $LINK_OPTIONS in /sbin/ifup-dhcp If I set the mtu to 7200 (which I can do at any time, without error, after the interface has been brought up at least once) in the sysconfig file the process gets a segmentation fault at startup. Apparently, this stops the entire boot process and the machine must be rebooted. Furthermore, even booting into runlevel 1 is unsufficient to fix this problem as the interfaces are (erroneously, IMO) brought up even for runlevel 1!! The easiest way to fix the problem is to use init=/bin/sh. However, since large MTUs on gig-e interfaces are not uncommon, this seems to be a fairly severe issue! -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
