Hi all,

Fixed it. Here is my story

I originally downloaded the latest kernel 2.4.18.
make xconfig (set up the kernel to my specs)
make dep.
make bzImage
make modules.
make modules_install

check everything worked, which it did, so next I tried to add IPTables and
Bridging patch

cd /usr/src/linux
diff -p1 < /tmp/bridge-nf-0.0.6-against-2.4.18.diff

Next patch with the IPTables.

cd /tmp/iptables-1.2.6a
make pending-patches KERNEL_DIR=/usr/local/linux
make KERNEL_DIR=/usr/local/linux
make install KERNEL_DIR=/usr/local/linux

then recompiled my kernel after updating the Kernel Config - make xconfig

Rebooted and tried code, got the errors.
Okay, then did this

make mrproper
make xconfig (set up the kernel to my specs)
make dep.
make bzImage
make modules.
make modules_install

rebooted, tried code and all worked fine no errors. It seems the kernel was
a bit confused and the make mrproper solved the problem. I think I am right
in saying the correct way to do this is as follows

Unzip the kernel
Patch with bridgin code
Patch with Iptables
make xconfig (set up the kernel to my specs)
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install

Should work. Took me a while but I got there.
