David,

Thank u very much for your help. In deed it would be great to have your case number. Could you also send us the result of:

rpm -qa --changelog kernel-smp-2.4.18-e.47.6.5
rpm -qa --changelog hp_qla2x00src-7.01.01-12 
rpm -qa --changelog Secure-Path-3.0CFull64-4.0RHEL2.1special

Thank U again.
Athos10.

Yes, It was built just for us.  They spent a couple
months troubleshooting our problem both on site and in
their labs (although they never did reproduce our
problem), and then gave us a new version of
securepath. Eventually the changes they made were
going to go into the next version, but I'm not sure
when.  The Linux Kernel we are using is "special" from
RedHat as well, and not generally available.
I'll see if I can track down our case numbers.  Maybe
from that you could try the same version.
