[TriLUG] iptables broke when I upgraded to linux kernel 2.6.3

[Peter Long]

Hi all,

For some crazy reason I decided to upgrade my trusty RH8 linux box from
the 2.4.20 kernal to 2.6.3.

I used the SRPMS from http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/2.5/SRPMS.kernel/
and tried to follow the instructions at
http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/799.

After several aborted attempts I got a kernel and event managed to boot
it. However iptables does not work.

[root at albert root]# iptables --list
iptables v1.2.8: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who?
(do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

Have anyone experienced something similar? I could your a few pointers.

Thanks in advance.
