Geeze... All that pucking around...
Use a STOCK kernel! It's there! All you have to do is enable
it in the configs. You are trying TOO DAMN HARD.
Assuming that all you want to do is add a leaf node and
that you have a router advertising itself on that network segment...
Add the following line to /etc/sysconfig/network :
NETWORKING_IPV6=yes
Add the following line to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 :
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes
Run "service network restart".
Done deal (you might want to restart ssh and/or xinetd if you want
to support those services on IPv6)...
Now, if you want to configurat 6to4 tunnels or SIT tunnels or
you want the damn thing to act as a router or advertise itself or you
DON'T have an advertising router on that network segment, it gets more
complicated. But the simple shit is REALLY SIMPLE (if you don't insist
on going through menu's and gui's, which I don't).

I've got RedHat 7.*, 8.0, and 9 on a /48 with several dozen
/64 subnets and Linux routers all happily connected up. It's not a
problem, even if it's not particularly obvious and even if RedHat has
managed to dick up several things (like static routes and lack of IPv6
support in PPP) along the way.
My IPv6-only (no associated IPv4 address) virtual web server, if
anyone wants to ping it or test their IPv6 connection:
