Hi! I've just built 2.6.18 on a sparc64 box (Ultra 5) using gcc-3.3.5 (debian woody). After booting the kernel, I get tons of unaligned access messages related to various bits of the IPv6 code: Kernel unaligned access at TPC[10022cf0] ipv6_rcv+0xb8/0x320 [ipv6] Kernel unaligned access at TPC[10023800] __ipv6_addr_type+0x8/0x140 [ipv6] Kernel unaligned access at TPC[1002fd64] fib6_lookup_1+0x2c/0x120 [ipv6] Kernel unaligned access at TPC[10093878] tcp_error+0x40/0x2c0 [nf_conntrack] Kernel unaligned access at TPC[1004ce54] nf_ip6_checksum+0x13c/0x1c0 [ipv6] Kernel unaligned access at TPC[1004ce58] nf_ip6_checksum+0x140/0x1c0 [ipv6] Kernel unaligned access at TPC[1004ce60] nf_ip6_checksum+0x148/0x1c0 [ipv6] As I'm not really familiar at all with sparc assembly, the usual "look at objectdump, try to see what it does, look at corresponding source code" strategy doesn't work for me in this case. There could be 7 different bugs, but I think it's more likely that some common data structure is misaligned and thus causes unaligned accesses all over the place. I've put the ipv6.ko and nf_conntrack.ko modules online at http://people.netfilter.org/laforge/tmp/2618_bug/ This could be a known issue, but I couldn't find any reference to it on netdev, sparclinux or via google. Any assistance is appreciated, thanks! -- - Harald Welte <laforge@xxxxxxxxxxxx> http://gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ We all know Linux is great...it does infinite loops in 5 seconds. -- Linus
