I chose CentOS 4.2 and managed to get it installed and running. Seems to run great and I am impressed with its speed but I am having problems loading a couple modules. When I try to start the firewall and load iptables I get: Feb 2 16:05:56 alphacrow kernel: ip_tables: (C) 2000-2002 Netfilter core team Feb 2 16:05:56 alphacrow kernel: Could not allocate 60 bytes percpu data Feb 2 16:05:56 alphacrow modprobe: WARNING: Error inserting ip_conntrack (/lib/modules/2.6.9-22.0.2.ECsmp/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack.ko): Cannot allocate memory Feb 2 16:05:56 alphacrow kernel: ipt_state: Unknown symbol ip_conntrack_untracked Feb 2 16:05:56 alphacrow kernel: ipt_state: Unknown symbol need_ip_conntrack Feb 2 16:05:56 alphacrow modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting ipt_state (/lib/modules/2.6.9-22.0.2.ECsmp/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_state.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) Feb 2 16:05:56 alphacrow iptables: failed I get a similar message with the ipv6 module: Mar 1 16:06:15 alphacrow kernel: Could not allocate 8 bytes percpu data Mar 1 16:06:15 alphacrow modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting ipv6 (/lib/modules/2.6.15.4/kernel/net/ipv6/ipv6.ko): Cannot allocate memory As you can see I have tried both the CentOS kernel and building my own 2.6.15.4 kernel.
