I assume that the sysctl changes are what caused the netfilter oopses. - nf_conntrack_init() calls nf_conntrack_expect_init() which fails due to sysctl problems. - nf_conntrack_init() bales out without calling nf_conntrack_helper_init() So nf_ct_helper_hsize never gets initialised. - Later, netfilter client code calls helper_hash(), which gets a divide-by-zero due to nf_ct_helper_hsize==0. yeah, that's a netfilter bug, but we're trying to get kernels tested here. If I'm feeling energetic I'll drop the sysctl changes and do rc2-mm3. Probably I won't feel energetic, but we'll need a lot of fixes here before I can release the sysctl changes in another -mm, please. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
