When i try to enable the iptables/net filtering options in the 2.6.4-rc1 kernel the kernel compiles fine. However on reboot I get a kernel panic when it attempts to start up apache2. I will include the Oops message, a broken config and a working config. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. enable net filtering in the kernel 2.6.4-rc1 2. genkernel, grub, reboot Actual Results: Kernel panic Expected Results: The system should have booted without a kernel panic emerge info: Portage 2.0.50-r1 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.3.2, glibc-2.3.2-r9, 2.6.4-rc1) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.4-rc1 i686 Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.80GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.13 Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.58-r1 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.7.7 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -funroll-loops -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -funroll-loops -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j5" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="apm arts avi berkdb crypt cups curl encode foomaticdb freetype gd gdbm gif gpm gtk2 imlib innodb jpeg libg++ libwww mad mikmod mmx motif mpeg mtr mysql ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png python quicktime readline sasl sdl slang spell ssl svga tcpd truetype vim x86 xml2 xmms xv zlib"

Since we don't maintain the upstream sources; we can't do much about the issue. Can you file a bug at http://bugme.osdl.org which the upstream kernel developers would sort out? Thanks!
