insmod ip_tables

Hi,

Having problems when doing insmod ip_tables, I get

unresolved symbol nf_unregister_sockopt

and

unresolved symbol nf_register_sockopt

I've seen that several others have had the same problem (on different
mailing-list) but I've found no solution.

I've installed "gentoo-source" from scratch stage1.

I've tried (as others have done too) lots of different combinations of
features, built-in and as modules, but I still get the same problem.

One of the suggestions was to upgrade the kernel source-code, but it is
rather new, it is 2.4.26-gentoo-r9. Shouldn't that be good enough ?

Thanks in advance.

br Håkan E.

I have 2.4.26-gentoo-r5 and no problems with iptables ...

The symbol is defined in 'net/core/netfilter.c', which is configured by the
basic option netfilter on/off. It cannot be compiled as module, so there's
something wrong with your kernel build.

I suggest to do a "make clean" on your kernel tree, then a "make dep" and
the usual "make bzImage && make modules". Install your modules, install the
kernel image and reboot.

Hi,

Tried what you suggested, but I get exactly the same problem.

I checked that netfilter was compiled when I built the kerlnel, and it was.
I also checked what features I had as "built in" in my
"kernel-build-config"-file, and netfilter is marked to be built in to the
kernel. And as far as I could see there was not even a warning when building
netfilter.

Any more suggestions ?

Hi,

I got it working. I did "emerge unmerge gentoo-sources" and then I erased
the entire source-code and did "emerge gentoo-sorces".

After recompiling the kernel again (with exactly the same config) it worked.

I think this happend because I did not include "netfliter" in the kernel
from the very beginning, I changed that in the config-file after the first
compilation (and compiled several times, without any success), and maybe not
everything that should have been recompiled was recompiled ??

Anyway it's working now.
