hi all, i'm still having kernel compile problems. i've been trying to isolate the problem but i'm about to give up and reinstall mandrake 9.1 since i can't seem to fix it (and with kernel compiles taking more than 2 hours, the testing cycle is just too long :).
heh, it would actually take *less* time to backup/reinstall/restore than it would to build the kernel twice :). before i do that though (sometime tomorrow probably), does anyone have a working .config that works for them in vanilla 2.4.19 or earlier and on mandrake 9.1? i can take .configs for later versions too, but i want to stick with 2.4.19 since that's the kernel version that the openmosix project recommends. links or attachments welcome. please send to private email rather than the list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). i'll post a followup if i can get something working. my main problem is: when i build a vanilla kernel (or any kernel except the one that comes with mandrake's kernel-source RPM) i get errors when doing anything with nat. in particular, when i do masquerading with something like: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s <my_internal_network> -j MASQUERADE or when i do transparent proxy with something like: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128 i get: iptables: Invalid argument but that's only with kernels i build myself. with the standard mandrake kernels, or the netraverse mandrake+win4lin kernels, masquerading and transparent squid work fine. thanks for any pointers, files, attachments, links heya. tiger -- Gerald Timothy Quimpo gquimpo*hotmail.com tiger*sni*ph http://bopolissimus.sni.ph Public Key: "gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 672F4C78" It is easier to get forgiveness than permission. -- Stewart's Law of Retroaction. -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
