IPv6 implementation in kernel 2.4.4 oopses

["David Gordon (LMC)" <David.Gordon@ericsson.ca>]

Hi,

Can I be cc'ed at lmcdgor@lmc.ericsson.se (as per a normal reply) ? 
Thank you.

Included at the end is the ksymoops output after the crash (one of them 
anyhow :-)

My setup involves 2 PII installed with Linux RedHat 7.0 and 2.4.4 kernel 
with IPv6 enabled:
CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y
CONFIG_IPV6=y
CONFIG_IPV6_EUI64=y
CONFIG_IPV6_NO_PB=y

Also, the following application web servers were installed (enabled for 
IPv6) :
Jigsaw 2.2.0
Tomcat 3.2.1
Apache 1.3.19

To enable IPv6 with the Java based web servers, I used jipsy 0.2.1. 
Lastly, netkit 0.5.1 was installed containing in particular ping6 utility.

To reproduce the crash, I ping6'ed one machine from the other in 
command-line mode, no servers running. That's it. Originally, the first 
crash occurred in a X server environment while querying the web servers 
in IPv6.

Thank you,

Here's the output:
**************

ksymoops 2.3.4 on i686 2.4.4.  Options used
      -V (default)
      -k /proc/ksyms (default)
      -l /proc/modules (default)
      -o /lib/modules/2.4.4/ (default)
      -m /usr/src/linux/System.map (default)

Warning: You did not tell me where to find symbol information.  I will
assume that the log matches the kernel and modules that are running
right now and I'll use the default options above for symbol resolution.
If the current kernel and/or modules do not match the log, you can get
more accurate output by telling me the kernel version and where to find
map, modules, ksyms etc.  ksymoops -h explains the options.

No modules in ksyms, skipping objects
Warning (read_lsmod): no symbols in lsmod, is /proc/modules a valid 
lsmod file?
Warning (compare_maps): ksyms_base symbol 
__VERSIONED_SYMBOL(shmem_file_setup) not found in System.map.  Ignoring 
ksyms_base entry
