Hi all-
I have a Centos 3.6 server in production that hadn't been rebooted in quite some time. I was finally onsite today and took the chance to reboot into the most current kernel, but the box hung while "stopping iptables". Some Googling led me to one or two reports of systems hanging while the iptables initscript unloaded the modules.
Has anyone else encountered this? I haven't seen anything in the archives to suggest this is a widespread (or even known) problem. Because this locks the system where I can't perform any other activities, it's near impossible to troubleshoot. Can anyone point to anything in the initscript that I might be able to disable as a workaround?
Thanks,

Hmmm, this used to happen on my (former) Redhat 8.0 server. It appeared to hang now and then on unloading the ip_conntrack_ftp module. As a workaround I used to stop the network manually, followed by stopping iptables and then rebooting the system from a second login. One of the reasons I moved to CentOS (4.2).
