RE: Problems with kernel 2.6.1 and iptables

["Jan Kaastrup" <jka@protego.dk>]

Hi 
Thanks so much for the answer.
That did the trick.
Now the iptables modules can be loaded automaticly!

I found out that it could not load the module iptable_filter.
So doing:
#modprobe iptable_filter - made it work.

you need to change some things in /etc/rc.sysinit in order to modules
work again.

check for /proc/ksyms in that file and change it to /proc/kallsyms.
then do a depmod -a

maybe these changes could help you
