Have you tried this with the errata kernel (2.2.19-6.2.7)?

Comment 2 Preston Brown 2001-08-24 14:16:59 UTC

I need additional feedback to fully assess this bug.  Please provide.

Comment 3 Preston Brown 2002-01-07 16:04:00 UTC

closed due to lack of additional feedback, and the likelihood that newer 
errata kernels have fixed the problem.
