Hello
I know this probably doesn't really belong here, but this is the
only Sparc-ML I'm reading, and it may be of interest to you.
ping6 on an IPv6-enabled Sparc32 or Sparc64 on Kernel 2.4.20
bombs really nasty. Machine halts instantly. No matter what patches.
This is sparc32:
oldlady:~# ping6 irc6.lugs.ch
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference<1>tsk->{mm,active_mm}->contextb
tsk->{mm,active_mm}->pgd = fc00c400
And this is sparc64:
josephine:~# ping6 irc6.lugs.ch
dING irc6.lRuEgJsE.CcThv(6v:e ncuasl.lpiancgi fiiccmap.vc6h_)s e5n6d
oatUan abbyltee st
handle kernel NULL pointer dereference
tsk->{mm,active_mm}->context = 00000000000005d8
tsk->{mm,active_mm}->pgd = fffff800324b1000
USAGI or not, ip6filter-patch or not, grsec or not, doesn't seem to
make any difference.
I tried to run 2.5.6x instead, but I can't get it to boot anymore
(I had 2.5.68 running once on the Ultra1). All it says is "Data
Access Exception". I'm pretty sure I misconfigured something, so
if any of you has a .config of a running 2.5.69 or something on a
stock Ultra1 (143Mhz, Lance), I'd be glad if you could mail it to me.
Cheers
Peter
