Kernel 2.4.18-pre9-mjc2 breaks some netfilter modules

Kernel 2.4.18-pre9-mjc2 breaks some netfilter modules

[Kilobug]

Hello,
	I've upgraded from 2.4.18-pre3-mjc3 to 2.4.18-pre9-mjc2 and the following 
netfilter modules are now broken:

depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in 
/lib/modules/2.4.18-pre9-mjc2-kb1/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_owner.o
depmod:         pidhash_bits
depmod:         pidhash_size
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in 
/lib/modules/2.4.18-pre9-mjc2-kb1/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_time.o
depmod:         get_fast_time
make: *** [_modinst_post] Erreur 1

I'm using iptables 1.2.5 (debian Sid package)

Hoping this can help you,

I don't know what happend with regard to this.  The owner match module
compiles on my system without any problems on all kernels up to 2.4.18-rc1.

I assume that the 'mjc2' patches change something with regard to the pid 
hash, thus breaking the netfilter module.  Whoever makes this change should
take care of modifying the ipt_owner module.

Since the change is not in the unpatched mainstream kernel, I'm not 
concerned about this.

This is a recent change in the 2.4.18 kernel, removing get_fast_time and
using do_gettimeofday instead.

The time match from iptables-1.2.5 still used the old get_fast_time() function
and needs to be updated.  the time match is a contributed patch from 
Fabrice MARIE <fabrice@celestix.com>, so please ask him to update his patch
to work with recent kernel versions.

Thanks for reporting this to us.

initio scsi won't compile in 2.5.6

[Jack Bowling]

The following output from an attempted compile of kernel 2.5.6 indicates to me that the initio scsi module has yet to be ported over to the new code. I am not a programmer so am just throwing it out there as something that would be nice to have done if I am eventually ever going to use 2.5.6 and beyond with my scsi hardware :-))

I've noticed this, and already have a fix slated for 2.4.18-rc1-mjc1. 
Thanks for reporting it though. Every little bit helps.
