I hav already sent messages about those VERY BAD THINGS that redhat is doing nowadays.
I don't have the fix right away for you but I experienced the same kind of trouble. I
will try to remember the hell I went through to get my printer working and tell you
when I know.
Basically upgrading with redhat breaks basic things and it doesn't look like they
care ! In the case of the printer, they went for the module thing but they didn't
think about notifying this to anyone.
There is also the NFS pb : no sym link anymore. Even if the docs for exports still say
it is OK. I sent messages about this but no help. If you want it, downgrade.
Sendmail blocking at boot time for ever if it cannot connect ..
and so on .
Personnaly, I upgrade to get the latest revision of the software. Not of the distrib
which I think is going downwards.
