   Hi, I installed iptables and tried to start the firewall but keep getting the following message.

   root@cruzo:~# /etc/init.d/firewall start
   Setting up kernel security rules... [ OK ]
   Setting up iptables rules defined in: /etc/firewall.conf... modprobe: module ip_tables not found in modules.dep
   iptables v1.4.10: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?)
   Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
   modprobe: module ip_tables not found in modules.dep

   Any suggestions to fix this problem?

   Thanks

   Post the output of "uname -a" in your reply.

   Is the problem related to mismatch of versions? Ta.

   Yes, you figured out your problem is a version mismatch.
   You have 3.6.34 kernel,cooking kernel and modules in repo are 2.6.37
   I recommend a clean install of this version:
   http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/slitaz/iso/undigest/slitaz-xorg-light.iso
   http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/slitaz/iso/undigest/slitaz-xorg-light.md5
