Firewall does not start up

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

Re: Firewall does not start up

#tazpkg get-install linux-netfilter --forced

#depmod -a

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

Is the problem related to mismatch of versions? Ta.

Re: Firewall does not start up

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
