Re: [PLUG] IDE Controller Cards and 2.2.x kernels Question 

I was having poor hardrive performance.  Turned out to be a failing drive.

I think kernel 2.4 can use ipchains rules. You could also use a utility (I've read) to convert ipchains rules into iptables rules. An upgrade to 2.4 wouldn't be a bad idea. And from what I just read in LJ, kernel 2.6 will be speed things up a bit.

I would like it to work with a 2.2.23 kernel (patches OK) only because I
am lazy and don't feel like going to 2.4 and re-writing my ipchains
firewall. But if these only work in 2.4 I will break down and upgrade.
