debian kernel module install fails (14 replies)

I'm having trouble installing the xtables-addons-common loadable kernel module on my Pogoplug E02.

In the past I've always built a custom kernel for my servers and included the iptables support in the kernel, including the necessary extensions (geoip and TARPIT). However, in this case ... due to the patches necessary to make debian run on the Pogoplug ... I'm a bit hesitant to build a custom kernel.

I suspect that this problem is not difficult, but it is not one I have run into before. Any insights will be much appreciated.
