ip_tables setup trouble (modules not loading)

[wire]

Hi,
I am having some troubles setting up ip masqerading, and i hope someone can help me out. I compiled the packages as modules but they are failing on boot. I am not entirely sure what info you guys need to help me out so pleas let me know what other files, error messages , etc. i should provide.

This is "cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep -i ip_nf"

CONFIG_IP_NF_CONNTRACK=m
CONFIG_IP_NF_FTP=m
# CONFIG_IP_NF_AMANDA is not set
# CONFIG_IP_NF_TFTP is not set
CONFIG_IP_NF_IRC=m
# CONFIG_IP_NF_QUEUE is not set
CONFIG_IP_NF_IPTABLES=m
# CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_LIMIT is not set
# CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_MAC is not set

# CONFIG_IP_NF_ARPTABLES is not set
# CONFIG_IP_NF_COMPAT_IPCHAINS is not set
# CONFIG_IP_NF_COMPAT_IPFWADM is not set

this is my modules.autoload

nvidia
nvidia
nvidia
nvidia
8139too
ip_tables
ip_conntrack
ip_conntrack_ftp
ip_conntrack_irc

this is lsmod

8139too 15144 1
nvidia 1547520 10

this is modules-update

depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.21/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack.o
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.21/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o

a call to iptables returns

/lib/modules/2.4.21/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: unresolved symbol nf_unregister_sockopt
/lib/modules/2.4.21/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: unresolved symbol nf_register_sockopt
/lib/modules/2.4.21/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.21/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: insmod ip_tables failed
iptables v1.2.8: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?)




Thanks

sanity check:
did you do a make modules_install after you compiled your kernel and modules?

yes, i did. btw i have been googling this and it looks like a bunch of ppl are getting that

/lib/modules/2.4.21/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: unresolved symbol nf_unregister_sockopt
/lib/modules/2.4.21/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: unresolved symbol nf_register_sockopt

For ne one that is having the same problem, disable the version information option one of the links devon provided talks about. Also don't be a moron like me and forget to mount boot after you recompile your kernel.
