Dear list,

I downloaded the custom distribution of EBox (based on Hardy) as a complete bootable CD as I wanted to install without putting first a base Ubuntu and then adding packages.

When I started the install all seemed to go well.  I finished the first stage of the install from CD-ROM, ejected the CD, as asked, and rebooted the machine.  When it tried to boot from the HDD, I went through GRUB ok and then immediaterly received an error similar to below:

"Can not boot; kernel version is incorrect, error 0:6"

Did anybody else have a similar problem and found a resolution?

I was using an IBM T41 laptop.  Now I´m going to install Hardy LTS Server Base and then packages independently, but it is not my preferred choice.

Best regards,
Jon

Hi all,

I followed the instructions on http://ebox-platform.com/archives/2008/08/31/70-new-traffic-shaping-with-layer-7-filter-support/ for installing the layer 7 filter.  So far I can not get it to work.

CURRENT STATUS:
I installed linux-image-2.6.24-19-l7filter and successfully booted.  I lost my ability to manage or use my wireless card (on my laptop) but that seems to be about the only disadvantage.

I also installed ebox-l7-protocols iptables although I can't be sure that iptables was changed.

SYMPTOMS:
So what I see is traffic filter module is installed.  I can choose an interface and try to add a new rule.  However, if I click on "Service" I can see and select "Port based service" but I can see and NOT select "Application based services" and the same for "Application based service group".  The last two are both "greyed out".  If I view the page in IE instead of Firefox I don't even see the greyed out options at all.

Can anyone suggest a way to more deeply check what went wrong please, or does anyone actually have this installed and running (especially on Intrepid)?  The only thing I can think is that I'm running the wrong version of IPTables still perhaps?

I tried asking on the irc channel a few times in the last couple of days but did not get any responses. :-(

Many thanks and I apologise if this seems like a stupid question!

P.S. Also the installation instructions actually seem wrong as:

deb http://ebox-platform.com/testing/packages/l7kernel ./

does not seem to be a valid entry for /etc/apt/sources.list and broke my apt-get upgrade

In the end, I just went to deb http://ebox-platform.com/testing/packages/l7kernel and downloaded the file called linux-image-2.6.24-19-l7filter_2.6.24-19.34_i386.deb and installed it using a package manager.
