RE: RH not-so-Advanced 2.1 and new hardware

Thanks for the suggestion! Since our RAC tests have two main goals -- to test RAC functionality and to test it on RH AS 2.1 -- I've temporarily given up on AS 2.1 and installed RH9 instead. Of course with the newer kernel and more mods included, it installed easily without a problem. I'll be saving this message for the future. Thanks!
