Hello,

I cannot load the iptables rules in a OpenVZ VPS with Debian 6.0.4/64 bits.

Any ideas about how can I fix it?


This is the error:


root@VPS:~# iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.rules.all

Thanks!

This is slightly confusing, did you Frankenstein a system together out of debian
and RedHat bits?

Does /lib/modules/2.6.18-238.5.1.el5.028stab085.3/ exist for your frankenkernel?
Without the conflicting information, I would suggest running "sudo /sbin/depmod -a" to create the modules.dep file.

Thanks, it fixes the issue
