Ksymoops: Hi, there is a known issue at least I know for the imbtr_cs after a debugging session with a friend last weekend. You might want to try http://www.linuxtr.net/download/ibmtr-all.2.4.2-ac28.patch.gz till there is an official patch for 2.4.4. Due to some changes from 2.4.2 to 2.4.4 patch doesn't apply clean but it's only few lines in rej-file you will have to fix manually. Redhat unfortunately included this patch in their 2.4.2 rh7.1 kernel though it is not in the official kernel confusing people even more. -- Bjoern A.

It is not yet announced on their web from what I can see but you may already fetch it from p.ex. ftp://download1.vmware.com/pub/software/ -- Bjoern A.
