The iptables init script uses ipchains to flush the existing chains in the 
start sequence. ipchains does not work with kernel 2.4. The init script 
also calls iptables-restore -f -p. iptables-restore does not accept those 
options.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.touch /etc/sysconfig/iptables
2.service start iptables
3.
	

Actual Results:  
ipchains: Incompatible with this kernel
/sbin/iptables-restore: invalid option -- p
/sbin/iptables-restore: invalid option -- f

Expected Results:  iptables should be used to flush existing chains in the 
start sequence. iptables-restore should not be passed any options.
