I thought I'd done that standard stuff /etc/modprobe.conf: alias net-pf-10 off alias ipv6 off /etc/sysconfig/network: NETWORKING_IPV6=no

Just put these in your /etc/modprobe.conf to disable IPv6:

blacklist net-pf-10 blacklist ipv6 install ipv6 /bin/true

Hmm, well Filipe's answer also worked (openib package for InfiniBand was causing ipv6 to load as a dependency).

I guess your answer works by forcably failing any attempt to load it, even as a dependency.

Thanks to you both.
