[gentoo-dev] iptables and kernel 2.4.19-r1

[Ralf Ronneburger]

Hi everyone,

I'm having a litte problem with my kernel and iptables here (installed
gentoo the first time yesterday, really like it!!!!). I'd be happy if 
you could tell me, what my problem is or how I can find that out or 
where I have to ask (in case this is not the right place).

I've installed kernel 2.4.19-r1 and iptables iptables v1.2.6a. But I 
can't get iptables to work, everytime I try to modify/display the rules 
it tells me:

<PASTE>
bash-2.05a# iptables -L
/lib/modules/2.4.19-r1/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: unresolved 
symbol nf_unregister_sockopt
/lib/modules/2.4.19-r1/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: unresolved 
symbol nf_register_sockopt
/lib/modules/2.4.19-r1/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: insmod 
/lib/modules/2.4.19-r1/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.19-r1/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: insmod 
ip_tables failed
iptables v1.2.6a: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables 
who? (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
</PASTE>

Now as I've updated both the kernel and iptables, I'm at the end of my 
wisdom, so any help is greatly appreciated! Some more information below.

Best regards,

depmod displays:
