DHCPd Startup Failure Packet/Socket Failure

[jkress at ddssys.com]

SLES10 SP3
Kernel 2.6.16.60-0.74.7
NOES 2 SP2
DHCPd v3.0.7
Server paravirtualized with XEN on SLES11

On the rcnovell-dhcpd start command, the following error is displayed:

"Socket address family not supported by protocol - make sure CONFIG_PACKET
(Packet Socket) and CONFIG_FILTER (Socket Filtering) are enabled in your kernel
configuration."

I am at a loss on this one. My first attempt with DHCP on SLES10. From what
I have found the above config changes to the kernel require a recompile of
the kernel.

Did add the CONFIG_PACKET to the kernel config file, and recompiled the
kernel.
However the CONFIG_FILTER kernel config setting is no longer supported in
kernel 2.6.
Did add the IPFILTER to the kernel config. That appears to be the
replacement for the CONFIG_FILTER.

Assistance and/or advice would be greatly appreciated.
