The 2.6.30 kernel seems to have ipv6 turned on and compiled-in -- i.e.
not a
module.

Does this make it impossible to turn off IPv6?  Or am I missing
something...

Ok, one time I heard about comment all ipv6 related lines in
/etc/hosts. I'm not sure if this stop ipv6 stuff (I think not at all).

In the other hand, I found a bug related with this issue [1]. It says
about adding "ipv6.disable=1" into bootloader
