Description Andreas Bruckmeier 2006-06-06 14:29:36 UTC
I get the following error messages when i try to start iptables:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
FATAL: Error inserting ip_tables (/lib/modules/2.6.16-gentoo-r7/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
iptables-restore v1.3.4: iptables-restore: unable to initializetable 'filter'

Error occurred at line: 2
Try `iptables-restore -h' or 'iptables-restore --help' for more information.             
-----------------------------------------------------------------

The related part of dmesg is here:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
ip_tables: disagrees about version of symbol skb_copy_bits
ip_tables: Unknown symbol skb_copy_bits
ip_tables: disagrees about version of symbol nf_register_sockopt
ip_tables: Unknown symbol nf_register_sockopt
ip_tables: disagrees about version of symbol nf_unregister_sockopt
ip_tables: Unknown symbol nf_unregister_sockopt
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Kernel-Version: 2.6.16-gentoo-r7
iptables-Version: 1.3.4


I did a lot of goole-search but got no solutions :-(
Anybody got ideas?

Best regards Andi

you probably need to rebuild all of your kernel modules using the active kernel sources

Ok, "module-rebuild rebuild" did nothing.
Then I deleted all my modules in "/lib/modules/2.6.16-gentoo-r7/kernel/" and made a "make && make modules_install && make install" but no change :-(

you also need to recompile your kernel and boot into the new kernel image

It works now with the new kernel-release 2.6.16-gentoo-r9
