Hello everyone, I’m sending this message from a windows system because my linux system (pre-installed on an HP mini notebook) will not reboot. After installation of updates, a message appeared directing me to reboot as soon as possible. Upon doing so, I received the following error messages: WARNING: could not opn ‘/lib/modules/2.6.32.45-0.3-pae/kernel/net/netfilter/x\_tables.ko’: No such file or directory FATAL: Could not open ‘lib/modules/2.6.32.45-0.3-pae/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip\_tables.ko’: No such file or directory. After a few more lines of error messages, It suggests: Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded. It then gives me a login command line. When I enter the login and password, it tells me I have new mail and provides another command line. I am new to Linux, and so have no idea what command to input in order to rectify the situation to fix the kernel issues. I welcome your suggestions. Thank you. ## – elyktra elyktra’s Profile: [http://forums.novell.com/member.php?userid=108835](http://forums.novell.com/member.php?userid=108835) View this thread: [http://forums.novell.com/showthread.php?t=446127](http://forums.novell.com/showthread.php?t=446127) ---

Hi ! I have forwarded your message to our HP support team. Anyway I googled your issue and found this : ‘Debian 5.0 xen DomU iptables kernel module problem on fresh install | Rolling shells’ ([http://shell.burgas.org/2009/06/debian-50-xen-domu-iptables-kernel-module-problem-on-fresh-install/](http://shell.burgas.org/2009/06/debian-50-xen-domu-iptables-kernel-module-problem-on-fresh-install/)) Quite similar. Is it possible to type “depmod” once your are logged ?

I did the update through Yast. No problem after reboot. Were you able to solve the issue ? I confirm some packages need to be updated.

- elyktra, as the others said, your update probably isn’t complete. I wonder if we can get you back to normal first by disabling the firewall. Login as root on the command line and then “chkconfig SuSEfirewall2 off” and reboot. Does that help?

Thanks to everyone for responding. I’ll try your suggestions and should have a CD in the next week or so. Parenthetically, when I enter uname -a: Linux linux-f47p 2.6.32.45-0.3-pae #1 SMP 2011-08-22 10:12:58 +0200 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux when enter zypper if kernel-pae: it tries to refresh service ‘nu\_novell.com’, but says there’s a problem retrieving the repository index file. Errors listed: Connection failed, check if URL is valid, couldn’t resove host '[www2.ati.com](http://www2.ati.com) upon attempting to disable the firewall via command chkconfig SuSEfirewall2 off: SuSEfirewall2: unknown service I’ll keep you informed of my results after I try the CD boot. ## – elyktra elyktra’s Profile: [http://forums.novell.com/member.php?userid=108835](http://forums.novell.com/member.php?userid=108835) View this thread: [http://forums.novell.com/showthread.php?t=446127](http://forums.novell.com/showthread.php?t=446127)
