Cannot start tftpd(package from tftp-hpa) if disabled ipv6

I disabled ipv6 with "alias net-pf-10 off" or "options ipv6 disable=1" in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf and reboot system,tftpd will start failed and with no error messages in /var/log/messages,does any one can figure this out?

Sorry the answer to your problem arrives so late, but today I installed tftp-hpa and faced the same problem, it started only start if ipv6 was enabled, and no error message was thrown.

I got it to work with ipv4 by adding "-4" switch to /etc/conf.d/tftpd:

#
# Parameters to be passed to TFTPD
#
TFTPD_ARGS="-l -4 -s /var/tftpboot" 

I have also added this information to the wiki.
