Bug#426520: linux-source-2.6.18: several config items missed from "make oldconfig"
Package: linux-source-2.6.18
Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-12etch2
Severity: important
I installed the linux-source-2.6.18 package and used it to upgrade from
an old Linux 2.6.11 install.
After running "make oldconfig", compiling, and installing the new
kernel, I got the following error messages during system initialization:
iptables v1.3.6: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
iptables v1.3.6: can't initialize iptables table `nat': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
iptables was working fine in my previous kernel.
I discovered that several components, such as iptable_filter had not
been built, and that they were not enabled in the new .config file.
I re-booted into 2.6.11 and re-ran the "make oldconfig" on a clean copy
of the sources. The first message it printed showed that it had found
the correct old config file:
#
# using defaults found in /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle
#
It then printed the following error messages:

Comparing /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle to .config shows the following
missing lines (the ones about PAX are expected, since I didn't apply the
PAX patch this time around):
