It seems that appending "blacklist ipv6" in
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf never work.

Only method work is editing /boot/grub/menu.lst, adding ipv6.disable=1.


Anyone get the same experience?

Is this a trick quiz? there is no menu.lst to add anything to in Ubuntu 9.10

Yes, there is. You probably have directly installed 9.10 and therefore
got the new grub2 which doesn't have a menu.lst. However on my upgraded
machines I still have the old grub including its menu.lst.

Ah.. thanks for the correction Nils.* It never occurs to me that people would do an install any other way than the way I just did it ))

Yes. I have forgotten when it started but there was a point where most
distribution compiled their kernels with "CONFIG_IPV6=y" so the sysctl
and modprobe methods of disabling ipv6 stopped working. From 2.6.30,
it has become possible to disable ipv6 without recompiling the kernel
with the 'ipv6.disable=1" menu.lst/grub.cfg kernel option.
