I have tried the make clean or make mrproper before and it didn't work.
I will try a standard vanilla kernel and let you know if it works.
Thanks,

Try turning off MOD_VERSIONS (Loadable Module Support->Set version
information on all modules), and recompiling the kernel (including
"make modules && make modules_install").

[gentoo-dev] RE: Problem with iptables

[Alberto Romero]

Ok, I 've compiled a vanilla kernel, but I think it still loads the
modules of the other kernel (the gentoo one). My modules (the ip_tables
one) are in:
/lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/
but it still looks at:
/lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r1/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/
So I did: 
insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables
but it gives me more errors than the gentoo module, and they are similar
(unresolved symbols).

Any ideas? How can I change the loadable modules default path?

Which kernel is in your "/usr/src/linux" directory? You should create a
symbolic link in "/usr/src" called "linux" which is "linked to" the
kernel you are compiling the modules for. I've had exactly this problem
when I switched from the gentoo-sources to the gentoo-gaming-sources,
I'd forgot to change the "/usr/src/linux"-link to point to the gaming-
sources.

[gentoo-dev] Problem with iptables

[Alberto Romero]

Hello, I was trying to install iptables in my gentoo, but I always have
the same error message:

***
/lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r1/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o:

insmod ip_tables failed
iptables v1.2.7a: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables
who? (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

I have compiled the modules required in Network options-->IP: Netfilter
Configuration,and "emerged" iptables but it doesn't work.
Anybody has any idea of what's the problem here?

Thanks,

	Alberto Romero

I've seen similar problems before, and it happened when I tried to add IP 
tables support to an existing kernel.  Is this what you are trying to do?

I don't know if this will help, but:

Did you execute "make clean" on the kernel tree before compiling?  If so, then 
you might want to copy your ".config" in the root of the kernel source to 
your home directory, executing "make mrproper" and then copying the config 
back.  (I've seen some wonkiness with dependency checking on the Gentoo take 
on the Linux kernel.)

So something like:

make clean
make dep bzImage modules modules_install

Check to see if it works.  If not....

cp .config ~/
make mrproper
cp ~/.config .
make dep bzImage modules modules_install



Good luck,
Doug.
