Since iirc 2.4.20 I get this error when compiling a kernel:

|-------------------

|-------------------

IIRC the error is in ip_conntrack_itc, too.

How to reproduce:
make mrproper
copy config below to .config
make menuconfig --> Exit&Save
make dep
# optional: make bzImage - Logfile above was generated this way make modules

This looks exactly like
http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0209.2/0923.html
but hasn't this been fixed since?

Please Cc me on replies.
thanks, cu andreas

I got the same error. With

CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_CONNTRACK=m

(Connection tracking match support), the error disappears.

Hello,
This fixes neither the example I posted (add this line to initial minimal config, make menuconfig, make clean dep, make modules), nor the real world example

Hi,

I'll take a look at this later today, I think there are more problems than this in the config-dependencies, I'll go over 2.4 and 2.5 and see what I find.
