Hi Davis,

I think the problem might be that I don't have any dkms packages
installed - if I do "rpm -qa | grep dkm" I get no output. Do you have
any idea how I get these installed? Are they not part of the standard
install of OMSA? I've also tried reverting to OMSA-4.5, but in that case
I get an error relating to dcdbas:

dcdbas: version magic '2.6.12-1.1381_FC3smp SMP 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS
gcc-4.1' should be '2.6.12-1.1381_FC3smp SMP 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS
gcc-3.4'

Any help appreciated.

Thanks, Tom
