Add printk() calls in the offending module. rmmod ip6table-filter vi net/ipv6/netfilter/ip6table_filter.c make modules make modules_install modprobe ip6table-filter until you can narrow down what's failing in init() routine. See module_init(init) line at the bottom of ip6table_filter.c. > PS: ip6table_filter loads OK using a 2.4.18 kernel on a machine with a > Pentium processor. suggests parisc is missing some arch specific IPV6 support. grant
