Fix my mistakes.

is false. Kernel version is not correct. I forgot our redhat machine
was applyed kernel update rpms and RHS 6.2 uses version 2.2.14
by default installation.
I also tried to load Firewall-1(Build 41862/sp4) kernel modules for
smp by hand. Then follwing messages are shown.
># insmod fwmod_smp.2.2.x.o
>fwmod_smp.2.2.x.o: kernel-module version mismatch
> fwmod_smp.2.2.x.o was complied for kernel version 2.2.12-20

Hummm, seems this module is designed for kernel 2.2.12.
So correct answer is
"The problem might be caused because FW-1's SMP kernel mod
is designed especially for kernel 2.2.12 but RHS 6.2 uses 2.2.14."
I also checked /etc/fw/boot/fw1boot.
fwinsmod is called by $fwloadmod env which is defined by this line.
43: fwloadmod="/sbin/fwinsmod -f -$smp_prefix $fwmod kver=$kver"
When you use smp kernel,
$smp_prefix becomes "-p smp"
$fwmod becomes "/opt/CPfw1-41/boot/modules/fwmod_smp.2.2.x.o"
$kver is depend on your kernel ver.("14" in kernel 2.2.14),
"-p" option means do matching check for modules.
"-f" option means force loading.
If you have a chance, try following command instead original one.
(modify fwstart also required)
# fwinsmod -f /opt/CPfw1-41/boot/modules/fwmod_smp.2.2.x.o kver=$kver
To do this, you can load smp kernel module with several warning msg.
I'm not sure that module works fine in such condition but I found
uni-kernel module also mismatched but works fine.

Hi forks.
Did you check /var/log/messages about this failure?
More detailed information will be stored there.
The problem might be caused because FW-1's SMP kernel mod
is designed especially for kernel 2.2.14 but RHS 6.2 uses 2.2.16.
So,try UP kernel.

Subject: [FW1] Firewall-1 on Redhat 6.2
Hi all
This is my first post to the list.
I'm installed and set Firewall-1 V 4.1 on Linux (Redhat 6.2 SMP)
But starting Firewall-1,a error is shown
and it doesn't work at all.
The errors as bellow:
[root@xxxx ]# fwstart
FireWall-1: Loading kernel module...
fwstart: Loading fw-1 kernel module
FW-1: insmod failed
And these InterfaceCard are installed on Firewall-1 PC.
Intel Ether Express 100 (eth0)
3com EtherLink 3C900B-COMB (eth1)
Could someone help me to solve this problem ?
