thanks for all the feedback, i have already gotten emails from numerous people.
turns out, my problem was that i figured that 2.4 would be installed, but for some reason woody defaults to a 2.2 kernel. and i have been told how to upgrade the kernel. i am right now going through installing the new kernel. -doug ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Anso" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Doug_The_Slug" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, February 06, 2003 1:27 PM Subject: Re: iptables - can't locate module ip_tables > Woody by default installs a 2.2 kernel. > > You can easily upgrade by doing: > apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.18-bf2.4 > > This installs the non initrd version of the 2.4.18 kernel and then a reboot > should have to running on that kernel. > > Alternatively you can choose from one of these 2.4 kernels for Woody: > > kernel-image-2.4.16-386 - Linux kernel image for version 2.4.16 on 386. > kernel-image-2.4.16-586 - Linux kernel image for version 2.4.16 on > 586/K5/5x86/6x86/6x86MX. > kernel-image-2.4.16-586tsc - Linux kernel image for version 2.4.16 on > Pentium-Classic. > kernel-image-2.4.16-686 - Linux kernel image for version 2.4.16 on > PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII. > kernel-image-2.4.16-686-smp - Linux kernel image 2.4.16 on > PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII SMP. > kernel-image-2.4.16-k6 - Linux kernel image for version 2.4.16 on AMD > K6/K6-II/K6-III > kernel-image-2.4.16-k7 - Linux kernel image for version 2.4.16 on AMD K7 > kernel-image-2.4.18-386 - Linux kernel image for version 2.4.18 on 386. > kernel-image-2.4.18-586tsc - Linux kernel image for version 2.4.18 on > Pentium-Classic. > kernel-image-2.4.18-686 - Linux kernel image 2.4.18 on > PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/PIV. > kernel-image-2.4.18-686-smp - Linux kernel image 2.4.18 on > PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/PIV SMP. > kernel-image-2.4.18-bf2.4 - Linux kernel image for version 2.4.18 (bf > variant) on 386. > kernel-image-2.4.18-k6 - Linux kernel image for version 2.4.18 on AMD > K6/K6-II/K6-III > kernel-image-2.4.18-k7 - Linux kernel image for version 2.4.18 on AMD K7 > > David > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Doug_The_Slug" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "David Anso" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Friday, February 07, 2003 10:22 AM > Subject: Re: iptables - can't locate module ip_tables > > > p166deb:/# uname -a > > Linux p166deb 2.2.20 #1 Sat Apr 20 11:45:28 EST 2002 i586 unknown > > > > hrmm, i assumed that installing using woody disks would install a 2.4 > > kernel. how odd. > > okay, now i understand what has happened. i just have no clue how a 2.2 > > kernel got installed rather than a 2.4 kernel. > > > > would installing off the cd give me a 2.4 kernel? why did the disk/net > > install give me a 2.2 kernel? > > > > -doug > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "David Anso" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: "Doug_The_Slug" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Sent: Thursday, February 06, 2003 1:19 PM > > Subject: Re: iptables - can't locate module ip_tables > > > > > > > > p166deb:/# iptables -L > > > > modprobe: Can't locate module ip_tables > > > > iptables v1.2.6a: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables > > who? > > > > (do you need to insmod?) > > > > Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded. > > > > > > what is the output of a `uname -a` ? > > > > > > You need to be running a 2.4 Kernel, are you? > > > > > > >
