-mm2 and -mm3 seem good, at least compile and boot up :)
However for both, I'm seeing this when making modules_install:
if [ -r System.map -a -x /sbin/depmod ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map 2.6.13-mm3; fi WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.13-mm3/kernel/net/ipv6/netfilter/ip6t_NFQUEUE.ko needs unknown symbol ip6t_unregister_target WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.13-mm3/kernel/net/ipv6/netfilter/ip6t_NFQUEUE.ko needs unknown symbol ip6t_register_target [root@tornado linux-2.6]#
Seems to be caused by this option in .config set to 'm':
<M> Netfilter NFQUEUE over NFNETLINK interface Symbol: NETFILTER_NETLINK_QUEUE [=m] Prompt: Netfilter NFQUEUE over NFNETLINK interface Defined at net/netfilter/Kconfig:7
Full .config up at http://www.reub.net/kernel/2.6.13-mm3-config.
I suspect there is a dependency here on ip6_tables, which I am not currently compiling in or building as a module?
