No, it is an error on your part. You must match the kernel
version with the driver. So, if you have ocfs2-2.6.9-11.0.0.10.3.EL,
you need kernel 2.6.9-11.0.0.10.3.EL and vice versa.

This is completely expected. 2.6.9-11.EL is missing this
symbol. That is precisely why we don't ship an ocfs2 driver for
2.6.9-11.EL.
Go to http://oss.oracle.com/~mfasheh/ocfs2_rpms/. There you will
find packages for the 2.6.9-11.0.0.10.3.EL kernel. If you have an
Oracle support contract, this kernel is supported by Oracle and thus by
Red Hat.
