Any brctl or which command? The usual way of debugging this is to enable SysRq in kernel and hit SysRq-t to see what is happening. Also SysRq-p to show processes. > On i386 with 2.4.24 I've tested the same - bridge works > fine. The 2.4 code hasn't changed much in a long time. It could be a PPC issue You could rebuild a kernel with just an update of the the bridge code (net/bridge) from 2.4.27. > Can anybody advice me a solution ? > > I have enough experience in kernel development to fix it > myself.
