problem with iptable on a debian image

gosta100 · 03-29-2010, 01:07 PM

Hello everyone,

I am using Debian Lenny with hypervisor Xen. I have set up a vm (Debian Lenny) and tried to run a custom firewall. The output to: iptables --list is:

Code:

FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.26-2-xen-amd64/modules.dep: No such file or directory
iptables v1.4.2: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

Actually there is no folder: /lib/modules/2.6.26-2-xen-amd64/ . Probably i did something wrong when creating the vm's image.

Is there a way to fix this without having to recreate the vm from scratch?

Thank you.

Sounds like perhaps you don't have the modules for the running kernel installed, install them.

You would want to install the linux-modules package for your running kernel. For example... I'd run something like 'apt-get install linux-modules-2.6.26-2-xen-686' for my machine.
