Hi Rob,

I applied the patch you pointed me to:
http://www.pvfs.org/fisheye/rdiff/PVFS?csid=MAIN:pcarns:20080227143031&u&N

And the system that I am working on already has kernel-smp-devel installed.
Info is as shown below:

Do I need to upgrade kernel-smp-devel ?

Seems like I must be doing something silly, any thoughts?

Thank you,
