gentoo 2.4.20-r1, I couldn't figure-out why kernel compile wasn't working, and then realized that ( (2n-1) lines above where the final eror-message was ) it said it was pptp that boshed. So, I tried un-moduling /that/, and compile worked. It's under GRE ( none of these have particularly helpful help, so I'm trying to enable 'em all, under Connection Tracking, because that is a significant firewalling means -sigh- sometimes I just wish I /inherently/ understood it all ) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.in first compile of gentoo-2.4.20-r1, enable Netfilter/Connection-Tracking, moduling it, and moduling all its sub-options ( FTP, IRC, GRE ), and moduling GRE's child, PPTP 2.do the MAKE ( make dep && make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install 3.notice the eror messages it throws in one's face, ages later... Expected Results: actual kernel compile, obviously...
I use gentoo 2.4.20-r2 here, which compiles just fine, even with those two modules turned on. The downside: it kernel panics, when I try to use netfilter (e.g. load the modules) I still try to reproduce this, which is rather hard, since it plainly locks my box and does not leave any traces :(
I have exactly the same problem. Seems like the following kernel patch is a bad thing: Checking 700_iptables-03_ip_conntrack_proto_tcp-lockfix (plain text format)... looks good. Applying... done. By the way: I'm using gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r2
still a problem?
