SuSE 9.3 freezes at startup

riba43 · 07-22-2005, 01:52 PM

Hi,

The following problem occurs when I start my system. It is not regular but it happens at least every third time and it happens when it comes to :
" ..Starting Firewall Initialization (phase1 of2) SuSE Firewall2. Warning ip6 tables does not support state watching. Extended IP6 support disabled ".

And after that warning, the system freezes.

As it seems it has to do with IP6 and firewall. Being a newbe to LINUX, I need your help.

Just shut off IPv6 service on successful boot, through yast/services

phoenix49 thanks for your answer. I have in my YASt - HOst configuration the following ipv6 entries:

::1 localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback
fe00:: ipv6-localnet
ff00::0 ipv6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ipv6-allnodes
ff02::2 ipv6-allrouters
ff02::3 ipv6-allhosts

which ones I can delete??

If you don't use IPv6 (I think only few people need 'em), you can delete 'em all, or just disable this service. Internet is using IPv4, and all modern network systems (samba, nfs) too. IPv6 is in testing stage.
