| Hi,
Could you please tell me, which Operating system you are doing, and which kernels are currently installed and what is your actual goal?
Thanks,
Noman

| While recompiling a kernel, make sure that you load the old kernel configuration if there are no hardware changes.
This is what you should do:
cp /boot/config-`uname -r` /new/kernels/source/location/.config
make menuconfig
To search for a module, hit the key '/' in your keyboard and type the string eg: "/conntrack" in the kernel dialog menu.
ip_conntrack is an iptables module and you should see that along with it.
If the compile is complete, check if the module is loaded using "lsmod | grep conntrack" command.
