[gentoo-user] Change in kernel netfilter config causes an error

[Mick]

Hi All,

I just compiled kernel-2.6.16-gentoo-r3 and it now causes an iptables
error when the machine boots.  Any ideas how I can fix it?

Here is some supporting information.

Boot error looks like this:
=====================
# /etc/init.d/iptables restart
 * Loading iptables state and starting firewall ...
iptables-restore v1.3.4: iptables-restore: unable to initializetable 'nat'

Error occurred at line: 8
Try `iptables-restore -h' or 'iptables-restore --help' for more information.
=====================

Assuming that line 8 above is from the /etc/init.d/iptables script,
this is what line 8 says:
=====================
iptables_name=${SVCNAME}
=====================

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
