Hmmm.... I have a couple of 6.2 and 7.x boxes running IPCHAINS and IPTABLES (for 7.x). I'm not an expert in these great tools however I've never seen a problem as described. Shutting down works just fine and start up has no issues.
I have pentium 166's and one pentium 233 (MMX is there I believe). I wish I could give you some direction where to look. Simply letting you know that I've had positive experiences with linux and firewalls. After a fresh install of 7.1 it should be good to go. Perhaps running diagnostics on the hardware will turn something up. Wish I could help more. Frank Hello , I'll try the list again... First, I've searched the archives and found no info on my problem with RH 7.1, maybe someone on the list can help. I have a fresh install of 7.1 and when I do a "shutdown -h now," the machine goes through the normal shutdown until it gets to the point where it says "removing all md devices" - this is just after the point where it says "halting system." When the process gets to the "removing all md devices," the console suddenly starts fast scrolling a whole bunch of hex codes and some plain text. At first I thought it might be the hard drive, but it does the same on a different hard drive - both drives know to work. I then manually "rmmod" all modules before shutting down and still have the same problem. The machine will not shutdown unless I power it down, it will continue to scroll the hex characters accross the console. The machine is a 200Mhz pentium MMX - this is a known good machine under RH 6.0. The machine is a only being used as a firewall using iptables, I removed ipchains, so it is a little scary not knowing what the heck is going on with the box. If anyone has ever experienced this or knows what's broken, I would like to hear from you.
