Network DHCP setting may fail under SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 - IBM BladeCenter and System x

Troubleshooting


Problem

If the user changes the network Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) setting to support ipv4, ipv6, or both via the YaST tool in Graphical User Interface (GUI) mode, then the user may see the following error messages: YaST got signal 11 at YCPfile Wizard.ycp:743 /sbin/yast2: line 440: 3542 Segmentation fault $ybindir/y2base $module "$@" "$SELECTED_GUI" $Y2_GEOMETRY $Y2UI_ARGS

RETAIN tip: H196251

Symptom

If the user changes the network Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) setting to support ipv4, ipv6, or both via the YaST tool in Graphical User Interface (GUI) mode, then the user may see the following error messages:

  YaST got signal 11 at YCP file Wizard.ycp:743
  /sbin/yast2: line 440: 3542 Segmentation fault $ybindir/y2base $module "$@" "$SELECTED_GUI" $Y2_GEOMETRY $Y2UI_ARGS

Affected configurations

The system is configured with at least one of the following:

  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11, any Service Pack

This tip is not hardware specific.

This tip is not option specific.

Note: This does not imply that the network operating system will work under all combinations of hardware and software.

Please see the compatibility page for more information: http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/

Workaround

Change the network DHCP setting via the YaST tool in text mode or remove the Smart Common Input Method (SCIM) package (scim-bridge-qt) that is affected.

Additional information

This symptom is caused by an SCIM GUI package issue in the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (SLES 11) Operating System (OS).

Novell is working on the issue, and plans to have a fix available in a future release.
