Wendy,

I tried using the ko files from your directory, but I received a
Invalid Symbol message.

i running two separate clusters with the following packages.  Can you
create a ko files that will work in these environments to test?

Envirorment One  x86_64
uname -r = 2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp
GFS-6.1.6-1
GFS-kernel-smp-2.6.9-60.3
GFS-kernheaders-2.6.9-60.3

Enviroment Two i686
uname -r = 2.6.9-34.0.1.ELhudemem
GFS-kernel-hugemem-2.6.9-49-1.1
GFS-kernheaders.2.6.9-49.1.1
GFS-6.1.5-0

Let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Jon
