What I meant was I had set the relevant configuration options as modules.

Do the other modules generated during kernel compilation work? It's just that the error message refers to the modules themselves. Did you remember to
make modules AND make modules_install ?
Sorry if I'm pointing out the obvious, but it's the obvious things that are the easiest to miss! Other than that, I'll leave it to our more experienced ALUG'ers!

All modules, apart from the ones related to iptables, work properly.
Yes I did make modules and install them. I have compiled kernels many times. Never had this before. Thanks for trying.

I have the recollection that there are modules not obviously related to iptables that are required. They are not built automatically because the configuration system can't cope with it. Here are relevant options on this box. Anything not mentioned is not set or really irrelevant. See how yours differ:
# # Networking options # CONFIG_PACKET=y # CONFIG_PACKET_MMAP is not set CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV=m CONFIG_NETFILTER=y CONFIG_NETFILTER_DEBUG=y # CONFIG_FILTER is not set CONFIG_UNIX=y CONFIG_INET=y CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST=y # CONFIG_IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER is not set # CONFIG_IP_PNP is not set
# # IP: Netfilter Configuration # CONFIG_IP_NF_CONNTRACK=m CONFIG_IP_NF_FTP=m CONFIG_IP_NF_IRC=m CONFIG_IP_NF_IPTABLES=m CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_LIMIT=m CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_MARK=m CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_MULTIPORT=m CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_TOS=m CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_LENGTH=m CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_TTL=m CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_TCPMSS=m CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_STATE=m CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_UNCLEAN=m CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_OWNER=m CONFIG_IP_NF_FILTER=m CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_REJECT=m CONFIG_IP_NF_NAT=m CONFIG_IP_NF_NAT_NEEDED=y CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_MASQUERADE=m CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_REDIRECT=m CONFIG_IP_NF_NAT_IRC=m CONFIG_IP_NF_NAT_FTP=m CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_LOG=m CONFIG_IPV6=m

Maybe someone can point out improvements to my setup here, too?
