The iptables version is irrelevant in these cases - only the kernel and its version counts. I can think of two possibilities (therefore stressed the question on from where did you get the source of the running kernel): - you run a vendor-provided kernel, compiled from vendor-provided source - the additional patches you applied break some internal mechanism in netfilter I know it's not much help for you.
