Bug 42736 – Unresolved symbols in ip_tables

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM

[Description Sveinung Kvilhaugsvik 2004-02-24 04:10:56 UTC]

I emerged iptables a while ago, and compiled the kernelmodules (I use vanilla-sources 2.4.25) I found in the script using menuconfig (menuconfig checks for depenensyes, does'nt it?). However, there are unresolved symbols in ip_conntrack.o and ip_tables.o. The symblos missing are: symbol nf_register_sockopt and nf_unregister_sockopt
 


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. recompile kernel with packetfiltering, connetiontracking (FTP and IRC) and IPtables (LOG, Limit math and connectionstate) enabled
2. modules-update


Actual Results:  
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.25/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack.o
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.25/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o


Expected Results:  
no erors, and iptables sholud have worked

I have even rebooted, but it still does not work

I did a simple textsearch within the kernel. The symbols I need are exported in net/netsyms.c. Now all I have to figure out is how to enable it in the makefile (and mabe how to make iptables depend on it)...

Please post emerge info and full buildlog

I dont use 2.4 anymore, so I makred this as resolved, as everything works fine in 2.6 (all I needed to do there was to change iptables to modules to get rid off annoying errormessages), however it might miss a dependency anyway. (If it is enabled by default in 2.6) 

However, if you are interested (if the bug still is there), I will post the data you requested under (and if you need me to test, I could do that to)

dropped.

If you need me to, I can do it again with make clean first. (As said, only if
you are interested, on my part the problem is solved)

Well, better check if I have forgotten to close other bugs as well.
