As stated in the KB articles quoted in the bug report: https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-31516 https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-38013 the patch is in the kernel-2.6.18-194.3.1 and onward. CentOS/RHEL 5.5 comes with kernel-2.6.18-194 which has the bug. RHEL-6's kernel is much newer at 2.6.32-71, so it does not have this bug. Therefore to get around this issue, as suggested in one of the KB articles, you first install CentOS *5.4* and then update it to the current kernel thus skipping the problematic kernel. Akemi
