Mine is probably worse.

    fw-1 is a module that sits beetwen the IP layer & the interface
    (Well. I think it perform like this. Mayne I'm totally wrong here)

I assume it works this way.

    So even if I can ping 127.0.0.1, Maybe it blocks acces to lo for
    some other programs.

Depending on the rules, it may well do so.  I don't think that is the
cause here, its just the reported error I have seen as the result of
there being no loopback device.

    As the firewall as been installed by a 3rd party - And not very
    well installed, because there are LOTS of daemons still there - I
    can't say...

Does the problem still occur with the firewall unloaded?
