I've just had series of kernel crashes during boot on my Fedora Core 2 installation (kernel 2.6.8-1.521), with two ethernet interface, first is e100 (Intel Pro100 card or like), and other is 8139too (RealTek RTL8139). They occur during Ethernet interface initialization (ifup script), however it seems they are related to ip6t_LOG module. /etc/sysconfig/ip6tables file that will make system crash is included bellow. Note that this happens only during system boot (first initialization of eth0, which is Intel Pro100). I can load this ip6tables file after system has booted just fine (and bring interfaces up and down). But if I have it during system boot, it just crashes the system. Can somebody try this ip6tables setup, and reboot his machine. I'm wondering if I'm just triggering something strange, or if there's a bug somewhere in kernel (probably in ip6t_LOG, or at least that's where kernel oops message pointed) that affects everybody... *filter :INPUT DROP [0:0] :FORWARD DROP [0:0] :OUTPUT DROP [0:0] # # Logging # -N DROPLOG_IN -N DROPLOG_OUT -N DROPLOG_FWD -A DROPLOG_IN -j LOG --log-prefix "INPUT_IPV6 " -A DROPLOG_FWD -j LOG --log-prefix "FORWARD_IPV6 " -A DROPLOG_OUT -j LOG --log-prefix "OUTPUT_IPV6 " # # ICMP # #-A INPUT -p icmpv6 -j ACCEPT #-A OUTPUT -p icmpv6 -j ACCEPT # # DNS # #-A OUTPUT -p udp --sport 1024: --dport 53 -j ACCEPT #-A INPUT -p udp --sport 53 --dport 1024: -j ACCEPT #-A OUTPUT -p tcp --sport 1024: --dport 53 -j ACCEPT #-A INPUT -p tcp --sport 53 --dport 1024: -j ACCEPT # # Drop & log the rest # -A INPUT -j DROPLOG_IN -A OUTPUT -j DROPLOG_OUT -A FORWARD -j DROPLOG_FWD COMMIT -- Aleksandar Milivojevic <amilivojevic@xxxxxx> Pollard Banknote Limited Systems Administrator 1499 Buffalo Place Tel: (204) 474-2323 ext 276 Winnipeg, MB R3T 1L7
