hello, this is what u should see if iptables starts up successfully during reboot - at least Jul 2 13:00:45 gizmo rc: Starting iptables: succeeded and may be its due some core level probs not due to any misconfiguration or sort of things like that. may be the problem lies in the package. if its possible pls download a fresh package of iptables from www.netfilter.org regards........
