RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Mauricio Teixeira 2010-07-27 13:52:38 UTC 
Description of problem:

libvirtd fails to insert needed iptables rules for NAT network due to missing CHECKSUM module, which prevents DHCP from working on virtual network interfaces.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

libvirt-0.8.1-15.el6.x86_64
iptables-1.4.7-2.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. service libvirtd restart
2. (watch /var/log/messages)

Actual results:

libvirtd: 10:42:46.110: error : virRunWithHook:933 : internal error '/sbin/iptables --table mangle --insert POSTROUTING --out-interface virbr0 --protocol udp --destination-port 68 --jump CHECKSUM --checksum-fill' exited with non-zero status 2 and signal 0: iptables v1.4.7: unknown option `--checksum-fill'#012Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.#012
libvirtd: 10:42:46.110: warning : networkAddIptablesRules:851 : Could not add rule to fixup DHCP response checksums on network 'default'

Expected results:

Should not give error.

Additional info:

# /sbin/iptables --table mangle --insert POSTROUTING --out-interface virbr0 --protocol udp --destination-port 68 --jump CHECKSUM
iptables v1.4.7: Couldn't load target `CHECKSUM':/lib64/xtables/libipt_CHECKSUM.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2010-07-27 14:18:11 UTC 
This issue has been proposed when we are only considering blocker
issues in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.

** If you would still like this issue considered for the current
release, ask your support representative to file as a blocker on
your behalf. Otherwise ask that it be considered for the next
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. **
