I'm thoroughly confused now, I'm trying to summarize my current knowledge/the status: In the past we used 172.26.16.73/12 for eth0 and 172.27.16.73/12 for the BMC (same mac address) which works under Debian Lenny but not under Squeeze. If I disable eth0 via ifdown/ifconfig BMC responds almost immediately to lan requests (both lan/lanplus interfaces) If I enable eth0 via ifup/ifconfig again, BMC stops responding at once. It does not matter if I set the IP addr. of the BMC to the one of eth0, or use multiple IP addresses (eth0:0) It does not matter if I unload all ipmi modules. I tested it with the stock Debian kernel, a self built 2.6.32.y kernel (same one used for Lenny, also rebuilt for Squeeze), also 3.0.3 showed the same problem. I tried different libc6 as ifconfig seems only to interact with it (2.7, 2.11 and 2.13) to no avail. right now, I'm completely out of ideas, what to test as well. I'm still suspecting the user land which might be responsible here. but I don't know what.
