Terry:
    Have you applied the patch referenced in the bugzilla on the CentOS wiki:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=456765
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=332650


    It differs somewhat from the patches in the kabi section of the
howto... i.e., changes the beginning of the %if block.

Thanks
