Re: relocation overflow of type 4 __copy_user

[santosh khare <santosh_khare2002@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have changed

CONFIG_IP_TABLES=y to

CONFIG_IP_TABLES=m

 in .config file.

make modules now building ip_tables.o and I do not have this error any more.

Although, executing iptables utility is giving following error.

 

ip_tables: applet not found

can't initialize iptables table 'filter': table does not exist

perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

 

Any ideas?

This flag is already included by default in both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels. How
did you compile your module?
