What i have understand from ur question is that u do not need to upgrade ur kernel but remove ur previous ipchains/firewall completely. Follow these steps
*First do lsmod if u see that ipchains module is present then do rmmod ipchains (i m supposing that previously u have ipchains firewall in ur linux box) *if u completely want to get rid from ipchains remove its rpm * now insert module of iptables by using insmod iptables if it works add other modules of iptables. * now apply iptables rules . hope now it will not give u resorse busy error Farooq Ahmed Network Adminstrator Karachi Institute of Information Technology Gulshan-e-maymay Karachi --- Imran F Bhatti <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all > i have a question when issue a command to my > iptables > /sbin/iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT > > the following error message shown > > /lib/modules/2.4.2-2/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: > init_module: > Device > or resource busy > Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect > module parameters, including > inva > lid IO or IRQ parameters > /lib/modules/2.4.2-2/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: > insmod > /lib/modules/ > 2.4.2-2/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o failed > /lib/modules/2.4.2-2/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: > insmod > ip_tables fai > led > iptables v1.2.1a: can't initialize iptables table > `filter': iptables who? > (do yo > u need to insmod?) > Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be > upgraded. > > > i am using linux 7.1 with iptables version is > v1.2.1a. > ipchains is stopped i am not understanding whats > going on > > i am in trouble please help me > > waiting for early reply > > > > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
