Well, Jo. I'm also at a loss while trying to figure out why you're getting
that message, but since you didn't seem to get a reply yet... I did a search
on the Web and found out another user who had the same problem. According
to his message, he explained that the version of linuxconf that comes with
Red Hat 6.2 was causing the problem. He only had to upgrade it to the
newest version, then ran "linuxconf --update", and that fixed the problem.
Let me know if that works for you too.
