To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org I'm using SuSE 7.1 and I had to compile the kernel to include SCSI support. That part is all well and good. The problems started when I tried to set up masquerading. Modprobe is returning the following error: modprobe: Can't open dependencies file /lib/modules/2.4.2/modules.dep (No such file or directory) I looked in /lib/modules/ and there the directory is called 2.4.2-4GB and not 2.4.2 I tried to fool it by creating a virtual link to the directory with the name 2.4.2 but then the modprobe returns a large number of kernal mismatch errors that the particular modules (iptable_nat) I am trying to run were written for kernel version 2.4.2-4GB and not 2.4.2 It looks like modprobe is looking for kernel version 2.4.2 but the modules are for kernel 2.4.2-4GB. Incidentally I have another machine with the standard kernel that YaST installs on which modprobe works well and the directory in /lib/modules/ is calle 2.4.2-4GB. Any idea as to what I'm doing wrong? Did I have to recompile the kernel to load the aic7xxx or could I have added a command in some initialisation file to load it as a module (insmod)?
