Re: [newbie] Kernel upgrade and IPv6 default
I'm already running with nolapic because of some issues with my mobo not playing nice, so no luck there. There doesn't seem to me to be any disernable difference between running the one kernel and the other, it's just that the new kernel doesn't work. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

The problem I'm having is that when I try to use it, it seems to insist on using IPV6, so it's not getting any IP address from my gateway. It ends up assigning some number to eth0 and then some bad number to eth0:9 and basically not working. Any clues? I had a similar problem moving from 2.6.3-7mdk to 2.6.3-14mdk (at least it appears similar). Eth0 would take forever to load (and eventually fail). Ifconfig looked like all the network interfaces were in IPV6 mode. My solution was to check the 'no acpi' box in the mcc boot config. Never spent any time looking into it beyond that, but I did notice that ifconfig reports IPV6 information even on a non IPV6 network. I suspect the nic hardware was just not being setup properly, and lacking a solid IPV4 ip address, ifconfig reported only the IPV6 info. Scott -- Nothing goes to waste when Little Fish are near!

Sorry, it was the 'Force no local APIC' box I checked, not acpi. Scott -- Nothing goes to waste when Little Fish are near!
