Actually, in a few case, I'm running a later kernel:

e.g.

uname -a --> 2.6.9-55.0.9.ELsmp #1 SMP Thu Sep 27 18:27:41 EDT 2007 i686
i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I'll put in a ticket to reboot the machine off-hours and see how that
works..

Thanks again for your help, Paul. It helps point me in the right direction.
