There's a known bug that will cause ipv6 interfaces configured via /etc/network/interfaces to fail to come up because IPv6 support is compiled in the kernel instead of as a module.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... bug/158582

This is an issue on linodes since even on the Xen beta boxes, ipv6 support is compiled into the kernels.

In the meantime, this seems to override the errant behaviour:

edit /etc/modprobe.d/local (create it if it doesn't exist) and add the line:
Code:
install ipv6    /bin/true

which basically tells modprobe to run /bin/true instaed of trying to actually load the module.
