Does it really matter what you have in /etc/modprobe.conf inside
the domu's? (note that the crash below is a crash of dom0).
In one of the machines, my physical network is an e1000
but i have bnx2 in modprobe.conf but neither module is actually loaded
in the domu.
Here's ip6tables from one of the domu's
[root@fg2x2 ~]# ip6tables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
RH-Firewall-1-INPUT all anywhere anywhere
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
RH-Firewall-1-INPUT all anywhere anywhere
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain RH-Firewall-1-INPUT (2 references)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT all anywhere anywhere
ACCEPT ipv6-icmp anywhere anywhere
ACCEPT esp anywhere anywhere
ACCEPT ah anywhere anywhere
ACCEPT udp anywhere ff02::fb/128 udp dpt:mdns
ACCEPT udp anywhere anywhere udp dpt:ipp
ACCEPT tcp anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:ipp

ACCEPT tcp anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:ssh

Does that mean it's on?

Hi,
I'm also using e1000 on my domUs. I have been keeping track of e1000
internal function calling sequences (as a part of my project). I do
not see any ipv6 relaated calls because it is disabled. I would
encourage you to double check whether ipv6 is actually disabled. I
don't remember exactly but it was a little difficult actually
disabling it.
Regards,
Asim

------------------------------------------------
There are different processes pid's that show as the triggering process
but the base error is the same. A couple times it is triggered by the
swapper.
What is puzzling is the references to ipv6 which I was pretty sure I
have disabled everywhere. To be clear these crashes
are from the dom0, and when it happens the dom0 hangs and does
not auto-reboot, it requires a reset.
Any ideas? This config has been pretty stable for us on 7
different machines including these ones. A couple of times it happened
just about the time we were shutting down a xen domU, a couple
other times today it happened on a machine that I wasn't even working on.
