Sekar,

In your file /usr/src/linux/.config, you should see something like this:

===============================================
CONFIG_IPV6=m
CONFIG_IPV6_EUI64=y
# CONFIG_IPV6_NO_PB is not set
[....] 
===============================================

Probably you have CONFIG_IPV6=n.
If so, you need to run "make clean" and "make menuconfig" etc. etc.
in your /usr/src/linux directory again and make sure that
IPv6 is activated.

If you have CONFIG_IPV6=m or CONFIG_IPV6=y
in your .config file, then the problem must lie elsewhere.

Cheers,
Alan Kennington.
