Im not sure I believe you here :-)

the bwmgt code will not build as a module (only N or Y is accepted and if I
try to manually set it to 'M' it fails)....not that I care if its a module
or in the kernel but it is different from the kernel on the box.

I will try that.


If you can get it cleaned up and make a new rpm I think it will make things
a lot easier.
