[Shorewall-users] make: *** [menuconfig] Error 139 ????????
I successfully upgraded my kernel today from 2.4.20-gentoo-r5 to r6 using
Genkernel.
1)cd /usr/src
2)dir
3)rm linux
4)ln -s linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r6 linux
5)cd linux
5)genkernel
update grub.conf to reflect the new kernel revision.
After I rebooted I did "uname -a" to confirm:
Linux deadmeat 2.4.20-gentoo-r6 #1 Mon Sep 8 17:50:29 PDT 2003 i686 Pentium III
(Coppermine)
GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
Wahoooo....
So now I need to load the appropriate Netfilter modules so that I can get the
Shorewall firewall
working.
Issue: genkernel --config ...which opens the genkernel menuconfig.
I was moving around in the netfilter configuration section when the menuconfig
utility disappeared
and brought me back to the command line with an error. I copied the error
message which follows
next after the full explanation. I then issued the "genkernel
--config" command again to get back
into kernel menuconfig again and adjusted my kernel to follow Toms Kernel
settings on the
Shorewall site.
Exited and saved and it got about half way through compiling and
":aborted"
In the meantime I''m going to "emerge ncurses" and hope that
this will fix the problem and hope
that someone else has run into the same thing.
*******************
There seems to be a problem with the lxdialog companion utility which is
built prior to running Menuconfig. Usually this is an indicator that you
have upgraded/downgraded your ncurses libraries and did not remove the
old ncurses header file(s) in /usr/include or /usr/include/ncurses.
It is VERY important that you have only one set of ncurses header files
and that those files are properly version matched to the ncurses libraries
installed on your machine.
You may also need to rebuild lxdialog. This can be done by moving to
the /usr/src/linux/scripts/lxdialog directory and issuing the
"make clean all" command.
If you have verified that your ncurses install is correct, you may email
the maintainer <mec@shout.net> or post a message to
<linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org> for additional assistance.
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 139
Error running "make menuconfig"; exiting.

*******************************************************
Below is my second attempt. I actually make it through selecting my module
changes to netfilter
menu in the Kernel menuconfig and then save changes: Aborts..at the point listed
below.

[Shorewall-users] Re: [Shorewall/Gentoo-users] make: *** [menuconfig] Error 139[RESOLVED AND WORKING]
I used "genkernel" to compile "gentoo-sources" and I just upgraded from kernel-2.4.20-gentoo-r5 to r6. I''m running Shorewall version 1.4.6c which is what "portage grabbed the other day". Oh, by the way the "StartupDisabled" file wasn''t present in this download. Tom I don''t know if that changed or not. It''s been awhile sense I''ve downloaded Shorewall.. The last thing on my list to get installed on my new Gentoo box was "Shorewall" for simple security logging and having the ability to nat our ChinsEE-ass ppp 56K dialup connection so at least 2 or 3 computers can be out on the internet at the same time. (not able to do a whole lot at the same time but at least we can all be out at the same time.. :p ) Figuring out what exactly needed to be put into the Kernel was the messed up part. I hosed my box at first and got Kernel Panic: Attempting to kill init; and was basically dead in the water. Crying hee.hee... Had to boot off the Gentoo LiveCD and chroot back into the system and run "genkernel --config" and hope that I would get it right this time....I really believed that I lucked out. These are my settings. You might want to add some more modules for what your needs are, but as long as I''m able port forward ssh to my firewall from the internet and nat outbound connections for the other 2 machines, then I''m a happy camper.. I didn''t have to put any of the Netfilter modules in /etc/modules.autoload.d/Kernel-2.4 Shorewall grabs this stuff when it starts up. Gotta luv it...
