Some suggestions: 1.try "revdep-rebuild -pv" later w/o "p" to check if something needs to be rebuild (suspect 'iptables' here); 2.Check for "required options" (see shorewall docs) in the kernel config (maybe something was changed); 3.Check the five 'basic' ;) config files: /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf&policy&interfaces&zones&rules.
