I searched the archives, in particular, nephros' post of the 20 or so "dups" (similar threads, in any event), and haven't found a solution, so I thought I'd see if anyone has suggestsions. In particular, one of the common "fix" suggestions was to just re-emerge iptables -- this, and several other suggestions, appear to be useless in this case.
Here's the history: I have a new machine and installed Gentoo from scratch. I chose to use the gentoo-sources kernel, and so got 2.6.16-gentoo-r7. All worked fine. Then I decided to set up my iptables. I decided to follow http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Iptables_for_newbies#Kernel_Support since, though I'm not an iptables newb, I am something of a gentoo newb. For starters, I had to add the kernel support, since it apparently wasn't default-enabled in gentoo-sources. That apparently went alright. I didn't have to worry about fixing symlinks on the kernel sources or anything because I used the same that came with gentoo-sources, in the same location. After this, however, I was told to
This produced "...Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter", which, upon inspecting in dmesg, I found to be "disagrees about version of symbol skb_copy_bits", and the "unknown symbols": "skb_copy_bits", "nf_register_sockopt", and "nf_unregister_sockopt".
Again, nothing I've read seems to address this directly. Any ideas? I enabled _all_ of the stuff recursively under "Netfilter configuration" (iptables) and "Core netfilter configuration" (xtables).
Thoughts? TIA. |
