Run `dmesg' for more information. I fail to reproduce this in 64-bit and 32-compat environments. Since ACCOUNT.ko and x_tables.ko do output appropriate messages to dmesg along with returning EINVAL... I don't see much possibilities. One could be that you are using an overly old xtables-addons (<Â1.27) compat_xtables.ko with an overly new kernel (>= v2.6.35) - combined with having ignored the compile warnings/errors (when building from source, as DKMS unfortunately does). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
