Hi, Bradley.  I believe that you've reported a problem that has already
been fixed in the RHEL3 U4 kernel (2.4.21-27.EL), which is scheduled for
release on Monday.  If you want to try out the beta version before then,
you can find an appropriate RPM under here:

  ftp://partners.redhat.com/a61d109e2483b0bf579b0b5f90a5ea8c/2.4.21-27.EL/

Or you might as well just wait until next week and upgrade your system
via RHN.

I'm closing this as a dup of the original bug.  If you find out later that
the problem is not resolved, please reopen this bug.  Thanks.  -ernie
