Problem with 64bit counters

I'm graphing alot of Linux hosts running RHEL 3 & 4 or Centos using Cacti 0.8.6i. Graphing interfaces with 32bit counters works fine, but using 64-bit counters results with empty graphs (nan) and the following in my logs:

03/14/2007 03:35:52 PM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] Host[70] DS[904] SNMP: v2: disco.xxx.com, dsname: traffic_in, oid: .1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.6.2, output: U
03/14/2007 03:35:52 PM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] Host[70] DS[904] WARNING: Result from SNMP not valid. Partial Result: No Such Object avail

03/14/2007 03:35:51 PM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] Host[70] DS[904] WARNING: Result from SNMP not valid. Partial Result: No Such Object avail
03/14/2007 03:35:51 PM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] Host[70] DS[809] SNMP: v2: disco.xxx.com, dsname: rawcontext, oid: .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.60.0, output: 3250347427
03/14/2007 03:35:51 PM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] Host[70] SNMP: Host responded to SNMP

Doing an snmpwalk on the target host with grep Counter64 results in nothing, but Counter32 gives a lot of answers. I don't know if this is the correct way to debug the problem?

However this problem exists in all the Linux hosts I have using either the "ucd / net SNMP host" or the modified version for smp I found on the forums.

I'm probably missing something very obvious here, but if somebody could give me some pointers I would be very gratefull. I am successfully using 64bit counters with switches.

The solution is to be found one line above the one you've highlighted. The target does not answer to requests for .1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.6.2. Perhaps the SNMP daemon requires some tweaking ...

Sorry, but I can't help on this. If the target device simply does not respond to your answer, it's not a cacti problem.
At least, please post the OID that's not responding. Perhaps anyone knows a configuration option for your target device's snmp daemon
