/lib/modules/2.4.21-20.1.2024.2.1.nptl/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipchains.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
      You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.21-20.1.2024.2.1.nptl/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipchains.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-20.1.2024.2.1.nptl/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipchains.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.21-20.1.2024.2.1.nptl/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipchains.o: insmod ip_nat_ftp failed

I'm not sure what information would be useful to solve this. As this is the
machine I am using as a firewall, I am rebooting it to linux-2.4.21.

Cheers,
mark
