The error says:
===========
iptables-restore v1.3.4: Couldn't load match
`ipv4options':/lib/iptables/libipt_ipv4options.so: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory
===========
So, it looks like you don't have the file "libipt_ipv4options.so", or
perhaps it's in the wrong place. Try to find the file ("locate
libipt_ipv4options.so") to see if and where it finds it.
If you don't have it, you're going to have to patch the kernel for
ipv4options and build a new one to be able to use ipv4options.
