Odroid-u2 Iptables Error

[emanresu]

Hello,

I have kernel 3.8.13.30-1-ARCH.

I am trying to run iptables -nvL but I get the message.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
iptables v1.4.21: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
')

So far after an many internet searches I have found out that this file /proc/net/ip_tables_names is empty.

I have also run lsmod.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
# lsmod

Here is an strace iptables -nvL.

I have also run these commands. They did not help.

modprobe ip_conntrack
modprobe iptable_filter
modprobe ipt_state
')

It's possible that the latest version of iptables requires features no present in 3.8. You might want to try linux-armv7 instead.

It seems like the kernel limits the clock to 1.4, but otherwise it seems to work wonderfully.

NariOX,

I tried linux-armv7 and my system would not boot anymore. Do you have any more ideas?

At this point, it seems more likely that you had a running kernel vs package mismatch.
