problem with ipchains...

Hi experts,
I am running Redhat 7.2 linux, and had installed pmfirewall. it worked fine until fewdays back.

now the ipchains giveing an error saying :

[root@server sbin]# ./ipchains -L
ipchains: Incompatible with this kernel

what happend to the ipchains ?

then I tried with this

[root@server sbin]# ./modprobe ipchains
/lib/modules/2.4.7-10/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
/lib/modules/2.4.7-10/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipchains.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.7-10/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipchains.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.7-10/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipchains.o: insmod ipchains failed

what could be happend?
and how do I solve this? if I go for iptables, then which firewall easy to configure? something similer to pmfirewall.
