Hello...

I'm running Storm (bought the box) and have done the upgrading 
necessary to get to potato 2.2r2, followed by rebuilding and 
installing modutils from sid (unstable) and then kernel 2.4.0.

When I configured the kernel, I included support for netfilter 
(modules) as well as ipchains support - only I built the ipchains 
support right into the kernel (not a module). This was good (or so I 
thought) as it allowed me to use my existing ipchains firewall setup 
while I learned about iptables.

So, after having read some stuff on iptables, I decided to give it a 
go. I didn't get very far :( When I tried to load ip_tables.o I got 
the following error message:
-------------
merlin:/home/mylesg/docs# modprobe ip_tables
/lib/modules/2.4.0/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: 
init_module: Device or resource busy
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, 
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters

Now, should I have built the ipchains support as a module and is that 
the cause of the error? If not, any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks!
