Hi all,
I am having problem with iptables start, I am using 2.4.22-1.2197.nptl(result of uname -r) kernel but when trying to start iptables it is giving error :
Applying iptables firewall rules: modprobe: Can't open dependencies file /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2197.nptl/modules.dep
i have looked iinto the /lib/modules/ diretory I am having 2.4.22-1.2199.nptl derectory there but there is no 2.4.22-1.2197.nptl directory.
I have tried to install rpm for 2.4.22-1.2199.nptl , but it throws 2.4.22-1.2199.nptlalready installed
I have also tried to install rpm for 2.4.22-1.2197.nptl, it shows 2.4.22-1.2199.nptl is installed which is newer version then 2.4.22-1.2197.nptl
I have also made a link to 2.4.22-1.2199.nptl with 2.4.22-1.2197.nptl under modules directory, then it throws : ip_tables.o is compiled for 2.4.22-1.2199.nptl while your kernel version is 2.4.22-1.2197.nptl
Anyone can suggest me how I can syncronize my work so that can run iptables on my system, and what is the situation is?
If you reboot the system, is there an option to boot into the 2.4.22-1.2199.nptl kernel? If so, try selecting it and see if uname displays the proper kernel version.
