Firewall Initialization problem since upgrade to 10.0-OSS from 9.3


I recently upgraded to Suse Linux 10.0-OSS from 9.3; I now get SuseFirewall2 errors during IPL (boot) and the process is taking a very long time to complete (20 minutes instead of 3). I did uninstall some pakages I was not using and cleaned up networking after the upgrade; I am afraid I broke something. After a lot of troubleshooting, I am asking for assistance! My only external ports are http and ssh.

I get a long delay at:
Starting Firewall Initialization (phase 1 of 2)

Then, after several minutes, I get:
Starting Firewall Initialization (phase 2 of 2)
SuSEfirewall2: Warning: ip6tables does not support
state matching. Extended IPv6 support disabled.

Then it takes several more minutes to get to the KDM logon screen.

In my /var/log/boot.msg, I have ~50 logs like this:
/sbin/SuSEfirewall2: line [line number]: /usr/sbin/iptables: Permission denied

and:
Failed services in runlevel 5: postfix
Skipped services in runlevel 5: smbfs nfs

THANKS IN ADVANCE - JT

How did you perform the update? Did you boot the new (10.0) kernel from CD or did you run the update through YaST. The later method is not recommended! I would assume that it was incomplete, so you got a mix of 9.3 and 10.0 packages. What do you get from 'uname -r'?

I upgraded by booting from the new kernal, using the boot iso and Internet ftp sources.

I have checked, and it seems the installation source for all my suse packages are 'SUSE LINUX Version 10.0'

(output of 'uname -r')
2.6.13-15.8-default

Does anyone else have any ideas here, during SuseFirewall2 loading: /usr/sbin/iptables: Permission denied
