That's a true statement concerning ipchains and iptables; they can't run
at the same time. 
To turn off ipchains, do the following:
chkconfig --level 0123456 ipchains off

Stop the ipchains module from running:
service ipchains stop

If you want to remove the ipchains module on your system:
rpm -e ipchains

Turn on iptables userspace tool:
chkconfig --level 235 iptables on

Activate iptables:
service iptables start
