4.3.2.11 Disable IPv6 on Linux Guests

Integrity VM does not support IPv6 on Linux guests. Red Hat Linux enables IPv6 by default. When

the Linux guest boots, the following message is displayed:

printk: 1 message suppressed

The dmesg command reports numerous duplicate address detected! messages on every

IPv6 configured interface. These messages indicates an issue in the IPv6 DAD (Duplicate Address

Detect) mechanism and are harmless. You can ignore them, or you can disable them by including

the following line in the/etc/modprobe.conf file:

alias net-pf-10 off

4.3.2.12 Infrequent “Ooops: timer ticks before it is due” Errors

Infrequent Ooops: timer ticks before it is due messages appear on the console. You

can safely ignore this message, because it is harmless.

4.3.2.13 Infrequent “e1000: eth1: e1000_clean_tx_irq: Detected Tx Unit Hang” Errors

Infrequent e1000: eth1: e1000_clean_tx_irq: Detected Tx Unit Hang messages

appear on the console. You can safely ignore this message, because it is harmless.

4.3.2.14 Inconsistent “Bogomips” Values between Virtual CPU0 and Other Virtual CPUs

“Bogomips” values can be inconsistent between virtual CPU0 and other virtual CPUs. This condition

is harmless. To prevent this problem, add the lpj=4000000 boot option in /boot/efi/efi/

redhat/elilo.conf. For example:

# cat elilo.conf

prompt

timeout=20

default=linux

4.3.2.15 Incorrect Display of Special Characters when Displayed Using HP-UX Terminal

The Linux Red Hat installation program does not display correctly when run within hpvmconsole

on an HP-UX terminal. It displays accented A characters instead of boxes.
