 Hello,
On RH9 system i tried to install linux 2.6.10. I followed all essential
things to install 2.6.10 kenrel on RH9. I first install
module-init-tools-3.0 then i install modutils-2.4.21-22.src.rpm as
given in http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/answers/150
My problem is after installing kernel 2.6.10 when i boot i got error
that Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded so i upgrade
iptables from 1.2.7a to 1.2.8 but still getting following errors on
Boot. How to solve this?
