no iptables after new kernel 2.6.10
Hi, I have compiled and recompiled 2.6.10 from running 2.4.x version on a Red Hat machine and iptables modules are not being loaded. It always says:
iptables -L
iptables v1.2.11: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
Though all the modules have been compiled into the kernel also as lodable modules. I also have updated iptables but since kernel 2.6.10 I am unable to load iptables module. Any hint how to fix this issue?

You are missing some of the loadable modules.

What do you get when you type 'modprobe <kernel_module>' ?
Did you upgrade modutils prior to the kernel upgrade?

Oh what a change in module name in kernel 2.6.x. They have changed the module name to iptable_filter while iptables just looking for the module filter. I loaded the module iptable_filter and everything came back to normal.
A happy endingWe eDrive your Business!
