Dear Dinesh, The Red Hat 9.x kernels actually come with NPTL support builtin, as such it shouldn't be necessary for you to switch to a 2.6 kernel. However! Due to the obnoxious nature of you employer's email setup, see below, I am providing you the above information under the contract that you make sure to never post to linux-kernel again including the below brain dead disclaimer and that you make sure to have your IT department stop sending out such disclaimers. Disclaimers like these are pointless and do not apply anyway as well as being obnoxious and violates the spirit of public Internet email. Using the above provided information for any NIIT business constitutes acceptance of this contract between NIIT and the Linux community. If you want to ask further technical questions, you are encouraged to do so, but keep in mind that it must comply with this contract.
