Markus,

ipchains is run as a kernel module. To load it:
  [root@byte-8 /root]# modprobe ipchains

Make sure you don't have the iptables modules loaded first.
  [root@byte-8 /root]# /sbin/lsmod

It appears as if your startup script is running iptables instead. Try using
chkconfig to toggle ipchains on and iptables off.
  [root@byte-8 /root]# chkconfig --list|grep "ip"
  [root@byte-8 /root]# chkconfig --del iptables
  [root@byte-8 /root]# chkconfig --add ipchains
then to verify, run:
  [root@byte-8 /root]# chkconfig --list|grep "ip"

'man chkconfig' if you have problems and 'man modprobe' for more info.

HTH
