Sparc64, Kernel 2.6 and iptables

Sparc64, Kernel 2.6 and iptables

[Georg Chini]

Hello,

on my Sun Ultra1 I have been trying to use kernel 2.6
together with iptables. Each time I use any iptables
command except "iptables -L ..." the machine crashes
completly without any further messages.
I compiled all iptables stuff as modules. The modules
load cleanly, as I can see after iptables -L. The
userspace tools are version 1.2.7a or taken from cvs.
Everything is compiled using gcc 3.2.3.
Can anybody help me? Thanks in advance for any
response.

Regards
        Georg Chini

sorry for not getting back to you earlier.

Unfortunately the only sparc64 box I had left is now serving as
kashyyyk.netfilter.org - our projects main server, running btw this
mainlinglist ;)

So before I've bought another ultrasparc machine, I cannot do any
testing on that architecture.  Sorry.

Hello,

thanks for your reply. Would it help if I give you
access to a sparc64 box? Or do you have any idea what
I could do to track down the problem? Including netfilter debug
in the configuration did not change anything, I still do
not get any messages. I tested it with 2.6.0-test6-bk6.

mh.  Since you don't even get an Oops message, it's hard to track... and
remote debugging (even with a serial console) is very inconvenient due
to the latency, etc.

I've just bought another Ultra5, I expect it to arrive within the next
week.

So I will wait and hope ...
