Could you send me your /usr/src/linux/.config file?
In particular, I'm interested to find out if you have "Always Defragment"
turned on. Also, in your init scripts, do you load your firewall chain rules
first, or enable forwarding first?
My machine reliably goes boom within seconds of
"echo '1' >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward". It tries to dereference a null
pointer, then gets an oops, and then a kernel panic.
I'm not sure, but I'm running masquaraded ICMP traffic at the time the
problem occurs (ping internic.net from a masq'd machine).
