| Code: | | iptables v1.2.9: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?) |
I reciently was recieving this message when my firewall script would run. I was certain that the modules were built and installed, the linux symlink was pointing to the correct kernel, and yes boot was mounted when I copied the kernel over.
I knoticed that alot of others were seeing this also and some had not found a solution.
My problem was that I did not have 'Automatic kernel module loading' built into the kernel. This is required for iptables to automaticly modprobe the correct modules. It is found at...
Loadable module support > Enable loadable module support > Automatic kernel module loading
I didn't see anyone else mention this as a possible solution, so I hope this helps,
