hi all,
i'm getting this error initializing the loopback device for ipv6.
the error message is
in6_ifattach_loopback: failed to configure the loopback address on lo0
(errno=55).
errno=55 is ENOBUFS, but i can get the loopback device up manually
doing
sudo ifconfig lo0 inet6 ::1 up
also if i cause a forced shutdown of the system, the loopback device is
setup normally.
should i increase the number of mbufs for my system, it's a ti book
667.
No, I don't think that is the problem. Where do you see the error
message?
One possible explanation is that this is a timing problem: the IPv6
initialization of 'lo0' is occurring before the system has set up the
mbuf pool. I have seen this before, in early versions of Darwin, but I
thought that had been fixed.
What kind of machine are you using, and when did this start happening?
Regards,
Justin
