on some machines the script /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge doesn't reinitialize ethX ip. as I can see the problem regards line 93: addr_pfx=`ip addr show dev $1 | egrep '^ *inet' | sed -e 's/ *inet //' -e "s/$1//"` should be addr_pfx=`ip addr show dev $1 | egrep '^ *inet ' | sed -e 's/ *inet //' -e "s/$1//"` on some machines with the ipv6 enabled it returns 10.0.8.207/24 brd 10.0.8.255 scope global eth0 inet6 fe80::230:48ff:fe79:2878/64 scope link instead of 10.0.8.207/24 brd 10.0.8.255 scope global eth0 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. enable ipv6 2. start xend 3. Actual Results: on ipv6 enabled kernels ip on the bridged interface is not initialized Expected Results: it should work also on ipv6 enabled kernels Portage 2.1.4.4 (default-linux/x86/no-nptl, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.5-r4, 2.6.20-xen-r6 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.20-xen-r6 i686 Dual-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 2216 Timestamp of tree: Sun, 17 Feb 2008 17:46:01 +0000 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p17-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r6 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r7 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.10-r5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.24 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.23-r3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -mno-tls-direct-seg-refs" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -mno-tls-direct-seg-refs" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs buildpkg ccache distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" LINGUAS="it" MAKEOPTS="-j5" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages/xen-server" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="apache2 apm berkdb bitmap-fonts cli cracklib crypt cups eds emboss encode foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gpm gstreamer gtk2 iconv imlib isdnlog jpeg libwww mad mailwrapper midi mikmod motif mp3 mpeg mudflap ncurses nls ogg opengl openmp oss pam pcre perl png pppd python qt3 qt4 quicktime readline reflection sdl session spell spl ssl tcpd truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts utf8 vhosts vorbis x86 xml xorg xv zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1 emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="it" USERLAND="GNU" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
