I was trying to get a recent linuxppc-2.5 (or benh) kernel running on my G4 Titanium Powerbook IV, and it wouldn't even finish to boot. After some debugging, I found it was always crashing when sshd started. That in turn was, because the kernel tried to autoload the ipv6.ko module for sshd to listen at ::. booting into single user mode and manually issuing 'insmod ipv6' shows exactly the same behaviour: A full freeze, no more cursor at the console, but still responds to pings from the network. Firing up xmon seems to reveal it is looping somewhere: pc is always between (count_relocs+0x34) and (count_relocs+0x40), backtrace: (t get_plt_size+0x60) (T module_frob_arch_sections+0xdc) (t load_module+0x474) (t sys_init_module+0x78) (T ret_from_syscall+0x0) btw: The system is running a current debian 'testing'. Is this a known issue? Any ideas? -- - Harald Welte http://www.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ Programming is like sex: One mistake and you have to support it your lifetime ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
