(In reply to comment #0) > 4. echo "alias ipv6 off" >> /etc/modprobe.conf Try this: install ipv6 /bin/true install: cannot stat `ipv6': No such file or directory Sorry it has been a long day. I added this line to /etc/modprobe.conf both before and and after alias ipv6 off to no avail.

Just a note. alias net-pf-10 off That module does not exist on a Fedora 8 or Fedora 7 system. This was around in FC6 and earlier? Everywhere I looked said "include this line" included in /etc/modprobe.conf too. Any reason why that line would need to be included even though the module does not exist? modinfo ipv6, and it should be clear. net-pf-10 is an alias. The network layer on receiving a packet will try to load a module for the relevant protocol if one isn't already present.

Anyway here is my updated /etc/modprobe.conf that's still getting "FATAL Module off not found" during boot. alias ipv6 off alias net-pf-10 off install ipv6 /bin/true (In reply to comment #6) > > alias ipv6 off > alias net-pf-10 off > install ipv6 /bin/true > Get rid of everything but the install command.

That works here... Thank you. This fixed the problem and ipv6 did not load. closing bug |
