Posted by Infinitnet, 04-19-2012, 09:30 AM Dear WHT users, I'm currently trying to remove ip_conntrack and connection limit from an OpenVZ EL5 kernel. However, menuconfig seems to remove too many other modules with it, so it's not possible to load an ethernet device anymore. The only one that's working is the lo device. It spits out errors like "eth0 has different mac address than expected, ignoring" and so on, even though the hwaddr is correct. Does anyone have a .config file with conntrack removed properly or knows how to remove it with menuconfig so the kernel actually works? Thanks! Last edited by Infinitnet; 04-19-2012 at 09:41 AM.
Posted by Infinitnet, 04-19-2012, 11:53 AM Seems like menuconfig didn't remove some modules that depend on ip_conntrack or something, which caused a module desaster. After playing around a little and removing 1-2 other iptables modules related to connection tracking, I got it working with the following config, in case anyone is interested.
