[SOLVED]Cannot run iptables probably after doing pacman -Syu

Hi guyz, help me solving this issue.

[shadyabhi@ArchLinux ~/redsocks]$ sudo iptables -L
FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.33-ARCH/modules.dep: No such file or directory
iptables v1.4.8: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
[shadyabhi@ArchLinux ~/redsocks]$

I fear I dont get error similar to http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=95995
I have still not restarted my PC...

you have that problem because you updated the kernel to 2.6.34 and you didn't rebooted. because we replace the old kernel, the modules are gone.

the only solution is to reboot

Thanks @wonder. After the reboot, everything is fine.. But, I think, pacman should better give a message after the kernel upgrade to reboot..

I think it's common sense to reboot after a kernel upgrade, since all the relevant packages are updated too (or should).

Arch Linux
