 Posted: Tue Mar 25, 2008 5:54 am Post subject: How to find a kernel option in menuconfig? [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I'm trying to install xmail, but it gives me this error at the end of the emerge:
| Quote: | * Recompile your kernel with CONFIG_NETFILTER and CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_REDIRECT
* support enabled and reboot. Then try to emerge xmail-1.22 again. |
I ran make menuconfig and found CONFIG_NETFILTER and enabled it, but I can't find CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_REDIRECT. Any ideas? Thanks.

just find it in kernel config and edit from
# CONFIG_NETFILTER is not set
to
CONFIG_NETFILTER=y
| Code: | | echo CONFIG_NETFILTER=y >> /usr/src/linux/.config |
should work if not do it manualy

Thanks. I thought about doing that, but I'm a little wary of editing the .config file. Will my system crash and burn if that's not a valid option (for the kernel I'm using)?
If it's ok and the .config is ready to go, all I do is:
| Code: |
$ make && make modules_install
$ cp ./arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-2.6.18-gentoo-r5 |
Do I have to reboot?

make menuconfig (2.6.24):
| Code: | Location:
│ Symbol: IP_NF_TARGET_REDIRECT [=n]
│ Prompt: REDIRECT target support
│ Defined at net/ipv4/netfilter/Kconfig:210
│ Depends on: NET && INET && NETFILTER && NF_NAT
│ Location:
│ -> Networking
│ -> Networking support (NET [=y])
│ -> Networking options
│ -> Network packet filtering framework (Netfilter) (NETFILTER [=y])
│ -> IP: Netfilter Configuration
│ -> IP tables support (required for filtering/masq/NAT) (IP_NF_IPTABLES [=m])
│ -> Full NAT (NF_NAT [=m])
|
While running 'make menuconfig' you can search for items by typing '/'. |

Thanks ok. The option isn't showing up in my menuconfig:
| Code: | <*> IP tables support (required for filtering/masq/NAT)
< > IP range match support
< > TOS match support
< > recent match support
< > ECN match support
< > AH match support
< > TTL match support
< > Owner match support
< > address type match support
<*> Packet filtering
<*> REJECT target support
<*> LOG target support
< > ULOG target support |
When I search for it, I get this output:
| Code: | Symbol: IP_NF_TARGET_REDIRECT [=n] x
Prompt: REDIRECT target support
Defined at net/ipv4/netfilter/Kconfig:408
Depends on: NET && INET && NETFILTER && (NF_NAT || IP_NF_NAT)
Location:
-> Networking
-> Networking support (NET [=y])
-> Networking options
-> Network packet filtering framework (Netfilter) (NETFILTER [=y])
-> IP: Netfilter Configuration |
NET, INET and NETFILTER all seem to be set, but the word "redirect" doesn't appear in the file at all (even commented out), nor does "NF_NAT" or "IP_NF_NAT".
What I had to do was keep searching in menuconfig for the required "depends on" options, then finding and selecting them and then finally I was able to find the Redirect target support option and select it. Now hopefully I won't kill my system recompiling the kernel (and, and, and...).

| If I append this option in .config manually, after genkernel they disappear. |
