voidmain:
You weren't by chance trying to remove the ipchains module were you?

Master of Reality:

voidmain:
Because if you were did you try and flush the chain rules first?

# ipchains -F
# ipchains -X
# rmmod ipchains

so yes i did flush/delet and /etc/rc.d/init.d/ipchains stop

voidmain:
I just tried to get the same condition on RH7.3 and I can't get it to hang up. I did a "modprobe ipchains" to load the ipchains module, then I created a firewall chain and tried to unload the ipchains module. It told me the module was busy and couldn't unload it. Then I deleted the chains "ipchains -F;ipchains -X" and was able to unload the module. Hmmmm, from everything I've read, in the 2.4 kernel ipchains is just an emulation layer to iptables for backward compatibility and as you know iptables would be better for kernel 2.4.

But, I can say that I have in the past had kernel modules hang up rmmod when trying to remove them. I was always able to figure out why it hung though and fix the issue without having to reboot.  It's been quite some time though so I don't have any more ideas. Sorry...
