I upgraded to a version 4 RPM (circa 2002) and that fixed it. If some compatibility was broken on purpose, that's fine, although I couldn't find anything in the kernel docs. I know, I should upgrade everything, but that can break a lot of things too... Thought I'd mention it though in case it's a bug or somebody else has the same problem. mds
