New subject: [Alug] Perhaps my subject should have been 'kernel compile problem'

5 Apr 2002


      Having upgraded my Debian system to 'Testing' I am trying to move to
kernel 2.4.18 but before I do that I need to get an iptables firewall
set up.
With my original 2.2.20 kernel I had used PMFirewall to set up my
firewall. Answer a few simple questions and Bingo - one firewall and a
perfectly servicable one too.
I am trying to use Endoshield in the same way but have recompiled my
kernel with the relevant bits included I get the following when depmod
is run:
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack.o
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_REJECT.o
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/iptable_filter.o
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/iptable_mangle.o
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/iptable_nat.o
I have never had unresolved symbols after compiling a kernel until
now. Apart from that the kernel seems to work perfectly well.
