Counldn't find the kernel version the module was compiled for?

[Sancho Lerena]

Hello Parviz,

Fist one, when you install iptables and compile it, do you read the
instructions?, my first time i simple put make all and of course,
compilation "was done", but i had many problems.

If problem is not IPtables package, it's easy:  try to recompile Kernel :)

A trick: in my debian potatoR3 system, when I compile 2.4.3 i need to move
/lib/modules/2.4.3/kernel/* to /lib/modules/2.4.3/  I don't know if Redhat
could find modules in ./kernel directory.

        Un saludo,

               Sancho Lerena
