Yep! [root@gw1 log]# uname --release 2.2.14-5.0 Because we are still trying to make use of a card on a newer distro with help from the vendor, but we can't get the module to load. We are now at the stage where one of hardware platforms is failing and needing a reboot on a more regular basis and we can't find out what is wrong, we have replaced memory and drives. The simple solution is to install the original RH distro and copy over the files and modules we need, no guarantee it will work, but we need to try something.
