Created attachment 310782 [details] Network config
When disabling IPv6 kernel-2.6.18-92.1.6.el5 also works fine: - Add the follwing entries to /etc/modprobe.conf: alias net-pf-10 off alias ipv6 off - chkconfig ip6tables off
can you try the 5.3 kernel (kernel-2.6.9-128.el5)? I think this might be a dup of bz450855. That was fixed in -99, correcting an unbalanced reference count which, if leaked, could result in this behavior
ping? Any results on 5.3 testing?
I will try to test kernel-2.6.9-128.el5 this week ...
Ok, please report results as soon as you have them. Thank you!
ping, any update?
Tested with kernel 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5: 1. Removed net-pf-10 and ipv6 entries from /etc/modprobe.conf 2. Started ip6tables 3. Issued several 'service network restart' and all worked fine 4. Restarted the server. 5. Issued several 'service network restart' and all worked fine The issue seems to be solved. Thanks!
