Before you try more drastic changes (like installing a new kernel -- see
below), can you try running "depmod" as root?
If you have problems trying to insert the module after that, then, please
report back.
I still get the same error messages...
The problem loading the ip_conntrack module you are seeing is
quite possibly due to a mismatch between the installations of the kernel
that you had.
Hmm... It is funny that it also does not work with the 386 kernel...
Although I am not sure I ever tried to ran iptables with that kernel
before, but I thought I did.
Another possibility would be to install another completely different
version of the kernel (like, say, 2.6.11, which has many improvements over
2.6.8, BTW).
I am a little afraid to plunge into installing myself (not from a .deb).
But I might get some free time soon... :-) I would prefer to fix this
problem though... Could a purge/reinstall the (same) kernel solve this?
BTW, is there any firewall that does not depend on iptables?
Thanks again Rogério and best to all,
Luis
