ip6tables on sparc32: filter Table does not exist

2003-02-18 Thread Peter Keel 
Hello 

I finally managed to compile 2.4.20 on my SS10. Since I recently got 
2001:8A8:30:30::/60  I now definitely want to do ipv6. It works, BUT: 

josephine:~# ip6tables -L 
ip6tables v1.2.6a: can't initialize ip6tables table `filter': Table 
does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

This happens with the stock kernel, but also with the usagi-patch.
So there's definitly something amess with the kernel itself. 

I did a quick google, and found further reference to the problem, 
but no solution. As it appears, the HPPA-architecture has the same
problem, and sparc64 as well (CC to Aaron Sethman which reported 
it for Sparc64). 

Now the question: Does anyone know of a solution, some super-secret
magic patch, or at least, does anyone know who I should bugger? ;)=

Cheers
Peter

Welcome to the club :-)

 It works, BUT:

Rhetoric question: how did you compile ipv6 netfilters???

if they are modules are you sure they are loaded correctly?
a lsmod would help

 Now the question: Does anyone know of a solution, some super-secret
 magic patch, or at least, does anyone know who I should bugger? ;)=

try also to on debian-ipv6 mailing list. It is probably more appropriate.

Here is the patch I used to get it to work on 2.4.20.  I forget who sent
me the original patch for 2.4.19, but here goes..
