NFS Oops in 2.6.8

[Joseph E. Sacco, Ph.D.]

Peter:

You will need to rebuild the 2.6.10 kernel. 

To see why:

* Goto the source directory,

	/usr/src/linux-2.6.10-1.ydl.1

* run:

	make menuconfig

* Navigate to Device Drivers -> FUSION MPT device support

You will find that the device driver was not included in the
configuration.
