I saw this error with the kernel that was on the CDs, I haven't seen it since updating to the newer kernel. So if you haven't already, do that. The original kernel had plenty of other bugs too to make it worth your while

Excuse me for jumping in late to this thread, but I am getting this message with kernel 2.6.8-24.3, which is the latest update available, AFAIK. Starting Firewall Initialization (phase 2 of 3) SuSEfirewall2: Firewall customary rules loaded from /etc/sysconfig/scripts/SuSEfirewall2-custom WARNING: Error inserting ipfwadm (/lib/modules/2.6.8-24.3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipfwadm.ko): Device or resource busy SuSEfirewall2: Firewall rules successfully set from /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 ipfwadm is not loaded into memory because of this error, but according to modules.dep (/lib/modules/2.6.8-24.3-default/modules.dep), ipfwadm.ko is required by: ip_nat_tftp.ko iptable_nat.ko ipt_MASQUERADE.ko ipt_SAME.ko ipt_NETMAP.ko ip_nat_irc.ko ip_nat_ftp.ko ip_nat_snmp_basic.ko ipt_REDIRECT.ko ip_nat_amanda.ko of which ip_nat_ftp.ko is loaded explicitly by /sbin/SuSEfirewall2. Is it something wrong with the kernel or /sbin/SuSEfirewall2 script? Thanks, -Kastus
Further investigation shows interesting facts. The file /lib/modules/2.6.8-24.3-default/modules.dep as provided by package kernel-default-2.6.8-24.3 has only one occurence of ipfwadm.ko in it: /lib/modules/2.6.8-24.3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipfwadm.ko: Nothing depends on ipfwadm.ko and with this modules.dep file SuSEfirewall2 does not generate any errors when loading ipfwadm.ko. If you try to generate a new modules.dep file using depmod command, it produces something different: depmod -n | grep ipfwadm 2.6.8-24.3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8-24. 3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipfwadm.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8-24.3-default/k ernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8-24.3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/iptable_nat.ko: /lib/m odules/2.6.8-24.3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack.ko /lib/modules /2.6.8-24.3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8-24 .3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipfwadm.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8-24.3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_MASQUERADE.ko: /li b/modules/2.6.8-24.3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/iptable_nat.ko /lib/modul es/2.6.8-24.3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack.ko /lib/modules/2.6 .8-24.3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipfwadm.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8-24.3-def ault/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8-24.3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_SAME.ko: /lib/modu les/2.6.8-24.3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/iptable_nat.ko /lib/modules/2.6 .8-24.3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipfwadm.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8-24.3-def ault/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8-24.3-default/k ernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8-24.3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_NETMAP.ko: /lib/mo dules/2.6.8-24.3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/iptable_nat.ko /lib/modules/2 .6.8-24.3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipfwadm.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8-24.3-d efault/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8-24.3-default /kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8-24.3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_nat_irc.ko: /lib/mo dules/2.6.8-24.3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/iptable_nat.ko /lib/modules/2 .6.8-24.3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8-24.3 -default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipfwadm.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8-24.3-default/ke rnel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_irc.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8-24.3-default/kern el/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8-24.3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_nat_ftp.ko: /lib/mo dules/2.6.8-24.3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/iptable_nat.ko /lib/modules/2 .6.8-24.3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8-24.3 -default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipfwadm.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8-24.3-default/ke rnel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_ftp.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8-24.3-default/kern el/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8-24.3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_nat_snmp_basic.ko: /lib/modules/2.6.8-24.3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/iptable_nat.ko /lib/mo dules/2.6.8-24.3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack.ko /lib/modules/ 2.6.8-24.3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8-24. 3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipfwadm.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8-24.3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_REDIRECT.ko: /lib/ modules/2.6.8-24.3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/iptable_nat.ko /lib/modules /2.6.8-24.3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipfwadm.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8-24.3 -default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8-24.3-defau lt/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8-24.3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_nat_amanda.ko: /lib /modules/2.6.8-24.3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_amanda.ko /li b/modules/2.6.8-24.3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/iptable_nat.ko /lib/modul es/2.6.8-24.3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8- 24.3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipfwadm.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8-24.3-defaul t/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8-24.3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipfwadm.ko: alias symbol:ip_conntrack_tcp_update ipfwadm alias symbol:ip_conntrack_count ipfwadm And of course, using this generated modules.dep file triggers the famous error in SuSEfirewall2. Now I wonder if I use depmod in some wrong way, or it has incompatibilities with 2.6.8-24.3-default kernel. I know, I can just reinstall kernel package and restore modules.dep file but it makes me uncomfortable using this kernel. Thanks, -Kastus

No, IPtables. IPchains is old firewall, ipfwadm is even older. IPtables has an IPchains compatibility mode. Jeffrey

I have the same problem on my 2.6.8-24.3 SMP kernel. I tried that system at default, but it made no difference. Oddly enough, my laptop is the same kernel, but I never got any messages. After I experienced the issues on my desktop, I changed my laptop to not load SuSEfirewall, which is a bad way to tell if the problem still occurs. eric
