Iptables 2.4x kernels

Iptables 2.4x kernels

[Hill, John]

Should I consider iptables to be dropping 2.4.x kernel support?

I have yet to compile iptables successfully since 2.4.26 and 1.2.11. I
get a MUTEX error. This was addressed by a patch (sent to me in email)
but a permanent fix has failed to make the kernel and the iptables code.
The new 2.4.29 and 1.3.1 still does it. I also had segmentation errors
with shorewall after applying the patch to 2.4.28 and 1.3.0. I gave up
without looking into the problem further hoping the new kernel and
iptables would fix it. It has not.

Thanks
