I've tried to build kernel 2.4.20, using the patches applied via patch-o-matic (thanks, Harald!) However, I can't get the PPTP modules to load. In particular, when I try to load 'ip_conntrack', I get these messages: [root@hermes gthomas]# insmod ip_conntrack Using /lib/modules/2.4.20-TEST/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack.o /lib/modules/2.4.20-TEST/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack.o: init_module: Device or resource busy [root@hermes gthomas]# tail /var/log/messages Dec 20 07:34:31 hermes kernel: ip_conntrack version 2.1 (4094 buckets, 32752 max) - 312 bytes per conntrack Dec 20 07:34:31 hermes kernel: Unable to register netfilter socket option Of course, without this module loaded, I can't load any of the other [important for PPTP] ones. Any help or ideas greatly appreciated. -- Gary Thomas <gary@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
