You get this message because the updated kernel was not compiled with pppd
support. The only way I know to kill such a message would be to re-compile the
kernel with pppd support. If you have the header and source rpms, you should be
able to do this. If you still have the -7 kernel available you can use it
instead, it's working fine for me - but then I have no need for RAID support at
this time.

Go check out the sun site, there is a security notice there you will want to
read. SO5.1a should be installed as a normal user, not as root for system
security reasons. This is explained on the SO home page, and they also provide
a procedure to change the permissions for SO and all its files. This perhaps
will fix the error you are getting when you shut down SO.

two problems which are not critical, but they could lead to other more serious
things later.
HTH,
