One or more of the gentoo-patches to the kernel tree 2.6 causes some sort of stall in the TCP-traffic, no browser (not even links2 in console-login-mode) can get the homepage of http://www.axis.com. But if you which to vanilla-sources (2.6) then it works. Tested on almost all versions 2.6.7 and 2.6.8 of gentoo-dev-sources, switched to vanilla 2.6.8 and it worked in all browsers (links2, firefox, mozilla, konqueor). - During a TCP-stall, Ethereal shows an ACK being sent to the web-server, but nothing happens after that, maybee the 'ACK' is not sent after all? Comment: I have see this behaviour on several web-servers and I think they might all be MS-IIS, but not all MS-IIS produce the failure! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.change kernel of Gentoo 2004.2 to gentoo-dev-sources version 2.6.8-r10 ( emerge =sys-kernel/gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.8-r10) 2. Build the kernel, i'll try to attach my kernel.config 3. links2 http://www.axis.com and see it stall (around 5.5 k into the page) Actual Results: Stall web is not loaded Expected Results: Load the page Portage 2.0.51-r3 (default-linux/x86/2004.2, gcc-3.4.3, glibc-2.3.3.20040420-r1,glibc-2.3.3.20040420-r2,glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r1, 2.6.8-gentoo-r10 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.8-gentoo-r10 i686 Mobile Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 - M CPU 2.50GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 distcc 2.16 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r4,sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r5 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 Binutils: sys-devel/binutils-2.14.90.0.8-r1 Headers: sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.4.21-r1 Libtools: sys-devel/libtool-1.5.2-r5 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="YES" CFLAGS="-Os -mmmx -msse -msse2 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-Os -mmmx -msse -msse2 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ds.thn.htu.se/linux/gentoo/ http://ftp.easynet.nl/mirror/gentoo/ http://212.219.247.13/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X alsa apm arts avi berkdb bitmap-fonts cdr crypt cups dvd encode esd f77 fam flac foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gpm gtk2 imagemagick imlib ipv6 java jpeg junit kde libg++ libwww mad mikmod mmx mmx2 motif mozilla mpeg mysql ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png pthreads python qt quicktime readline samba sdl slang snmp spell sse sse2 ssl svga tcltk tcpd tetex tiff truetype wxwindows x86 xml2 xmms xv zlib linguas_en linguas_sv linguas_da"
