Gentoo IPTables

[hakkuo23]

After updating my kernel to 3.16.5-gentoo, I'm getting this error with IPTables:

Code: Select all

iptables v1.4.21: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

and

Code: Select all

ip6tables v1.4.21: can't initialize ip6tables table `filter': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps ip6tables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

However, I don't understand WHY it is spitting this error and modprobing ip_tables doesn't help.

My .config, with just the filter options:

Code: Select all

How can I fix this?

Thanks!

When you compiled and installed your kernel, did you remember the "make modules && make modules_install" step?

[hakkuo23]

I just do this:

Code: Select all

# Reinstall external kernel modules
make modules_prepare
emerge --ask @module-rebuild

Should I update it to make modules as well as modules_prepare?

[hakkuo23]

Scratch that last post I never did make the modules haha!

I'll do that now and get back to you!

[hakkuo23]

Ok that fixed it! Silly mistake.

Thanks!

I'm glad it worked
