Don't use -Uvh to install a kernel, only use -ivh You will need
to use -Uvh only for the headers, if you install source and headers
to go with your new kernel. Hopefully you're usin a -8mdk 2.4.13.
Discussion on the cooker list noted problems with -3 thru -7mdk.

Well, I upgraded iptables after installin 2.4.13 and didn't get any
such dep errors (?). I used the cooker src.rpms,
initscripts-6.27-22mdk.src.rpm and iptables-1.2.4-1mdk.src.rpm, but I
did those upgrades to make supermount work flawlessly. Generally you
need to keep initscripts and iptables close (in time, ie, latest) to
your kernel version anyhow.
BUT, I am using 'iptables <= 1.2.4-1' with 2.4.13-2mdk kernel.
When I run 'iptables -L' I get the proper output. When the kernel and
iptables are mis-matched, that command would display an error saying
they are mis-matched. The only thing I can think of is that I built
the iptables src.rpm against 2.4.13-2mdk kernel/sources/and headers.
