Hi Johnny,

You made a believer out of me.  I wanted to upgrade to the selinux
kernel but have failed miserably  L

If I had to guess I would say this has to do with the stock kernel not
having NPTL.

I agree with William ... you can not use a stock 2.4 kernel with
whitebox (or any RedHat product with NPTL), without either adding the
NPTL patch to the kernel, or compiling your own GLIBC from scratch as
well...

You could use a 2.6 kernel...

My question is ... why use a non-WBEL kernel at all?  I would think that
if you needed a newer kernel, it would be much better to use a newer
distro (Like Fedora Core).  Most distros have patched the other core
packages (like binutils or glibc)  in such a way that the standard
kernel package does not work correctly without certain patches installed
(The exceptions that I know of being Slackware and Gentoo).

Just my $0.02
