*sigh*  Okay, okay.. I'm _really_ going to send the patches for this
this weekend.  Basic summary, the inode struct has changed in ac kernels
(which the Red Hat kernels are based off of), and tehre are a few other
smaller things that were broken.  I've got it working and will redouble
my efforts to get the patches cleaned up and sent in this weekend.
FWIW, I've got my current packages (which are a bit different from the
packages being built with releases and they do make certain Red
Hat-esque assumptions) at
ftp://kickstart.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/realmkit-7.0.91/SRPMS/RealmKit/
(i386 packages in the obvious place)

Unless Linus has merged Alan's changes (which I don't remember if he did
or didn't), stock 2.4.2 will work without any changes, although some
stuff did seem to act a tad strange when I was also testing against
2.4.1-ish Linus kernels.
