From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; Q312461) Description of problem: i upgraded my kernel ( RH7.2) from the default kernel version to 2.4.17 SMP. then when i run iptables it gave me: modprobe: Can't locate module ip_tables iptables v1.2.4: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?) Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1) i upgraded my kernel ( RH7.2) from the default kernel version to 2.4.17 SMP. then when i run iptables it gave me: 2) iptables -L Actual Results: modprobe: Can't locate module ip_tables iptables v1.2.4: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?) Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded. Expected Results: Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Additional info:
iptables isnt compiled as module in the kernel configuration and there's no option to make it as a module.
changing component to kernel the latest supported kernel for 7.2 is 2.4.9-21. if the kernel is from Rawhide (ftp://pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS/), then perhaps the product should be switched to Red Hat Linux Rawhide. changing to NEEDINFO -- please toggle product to RAWHIDE if this is where you got the kernel, otherwise close as NOTABUG. thanks.
reopening so I can close as NOTABUG
