Hi guys,
I'm running 1.5ZC current on an AlphaStation 200, with a custom
kernel. The kernel is basically a pared-down GENERIC, getting rid of
devices I don't have. The only things added to the kernel config are
uncommenting options/netatalk and changing the two instances of "pms"
to "pmsi". I left in IPv6 support, but am not running any IPv6
network, & have nothing setup wrt that. I was testing a daemon, &
tried "telnet localhost ###" (### being requested port) and the
everything came to a grinding halt. All disk i/o stopped, all remote
sessions stopped responding. I had X running on the TGA console,
which aparently just had not cleared and moved back into console
mode. But I found that no matter what port I requested, this would
happen. When doing it when not running X, I could see that what
really happened was that I dropped into the debugger. Here's what was
on screen:
CPU 0 trap entry = 0x2 (memory management fault)
CPU 0 a0 = 0x10
CPU 0 a1 = 0x1
CPU 0 a2 = 0x0
CPU 0 pc = 0xfffffc0000465610
CPU 0 ra = 0xfffffc00004655fc
CPU 0 pv = 0xfffffc00005f0fec
CPU 0 curproc = fffffc0001aace70
CPU 0 pid = 1152, comm = telnet
panic: trap
stopped in pid 1152 (telnet) at cpu_debugger+0x4: ret zero,(ra)
Note that I can successfully connect to myself if I use 192.168.1.1,
and even 127.0.0.1. Just not localhost. Trying "c" from debugger
starts for a second and then drops back into debugger (although
admittedly I forgot to kill 1152 first), so I rebooted from the
debugger. As this is consistent, let me know if I also need a
backtrace to help.
Oh, and the reason I consider it to be an IPv6 issue is because of
what happens as I do the connection...it tries connecting to ::1: or
something like that.
