Hello Folks:

First I'd like to show a limitation in my case. The server is at a
datacenter, so booting a new kernel is highly improbable, only in a
emergency case.

Now the problem.

I can't use neither iptables nor brctl. The problem is that the
module doesn't exist.

Some data:

# uname -a
Linux loghost1 2.4.27-2-386 #1 Wed Aug 17 09:33:35 UTC 2005 i686 GNU/Linux

I've downloaded  kernel-source 2.4.27, and copied
/boot/config-2.4.27-2.386 into /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.27/.config

First I tried 'make dep', but an error occured. Then I ran 'make
menuconfig', made no modifications, and then ran 'make dep, with no
errors at all.

After this I compiled the modules and installed them (make modules;
make modules_install). No erros again.

The new modules were saved into /lib/modules/2.4.27, not into
/lib/modules/2.4.27-2-386, so the modules couldn't be found.

Then I removed /lib/modules/2.4.27-2-386 and renamed
/lib/modules/2.4.27 to /lib/modules/2.4.27-2-386

This is what happened then:

# modprobe ip_tables
/lib/modules/2.4.27/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o:
/lib/modules/2.4.27/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: unresolved

/lib/modules/2.4.27/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: insmod
ip_tables failed

In other words, it didn't work.

Can somebody, please, help me. I couldn't go any further then this.


Fabio.
