Package: linux-image-2.6.26-1-openvz-amd64
Version: 2.6.26-13
With the following snippet in /etc/network/interfaces I get a backtrace in
the kernel, although it works on another machine with the same image (also
same architecture):
auto sit0
iface sit0 inet6 v4tunnel
address 2002:4e2e:6774::1
netmask 16
gateway ::192.88.99.1
endpoint 192.88.99.1
local 78.46.103.116
up ip link set mtu 1480 dev sit1
The failure is visible in userland as follows:
tanaris:~# ifup sit0
ioctl: No such device
Failed to bring up sit0.
The backtrace:
[87792.025658] kobject_add_internal failed for sit0 with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory.

The following, slightly different snippet also fails for the same reason:
iface sixxs inet6 v4tunnel
address 2001:6f8:900:1a4::2
netmask 64
endpoint 212.224.0.188
ttl 64
up ip link set mtu 1480 dev sixxs
up ip route add default via 2001:6f8:900:1a4::1 dev sixxs
This is an OpenVZ host. IPsec is enabled, too and created a tun device.
But that's both the same on the other server, too.
Kind regards,
