It did not have the required support. Neale's quiesce patch will add the required support to your 2.4.7 kernel source. It will require you to patch the kernel source and rebuild it. I don't know if the patch was created against vanilla 2.4.7 kernel sources or SuSE kernel sources, so you may have a bit of fun getting it to apply. (Hollar if you need help or would like me to patch and compile for ya.)
SLES8 does have the support built in since it was put into the kernel tree somewhere between 2.4.17 and 2.4.19 (which SLES8 includes). So, you'd probably want to wait until you receive SLE8 as that will be the easiest. Leland
