OEL 6.1 with SF 5.1 SP1 PR2 P1 install doesn't work
Hello,
I tried to install SF 5.1 SP1 PR2 on Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.1 I got this error:

It is strongly recommended to reboot the following systems:
edev
Execute '/sbin/shutdown -r now' to properly restart your systems
After reboot, run the '/opt/VRTS/install/installsf -start electra-dev' command to start Veritas Storage Foundation

I found the following article about the bug:
https://sort.symantec.com/patch/detail/5186/
I upgraded the vxvm with this patch vm-rhel6_x86_64-5.1SP1PR2P1.
I got the following error message:

WARNING: Unable to load new drivers.
You should reboot the system to ensure that new drivers
get loaded.
I doesn't work after reboot too.
I found a similar differences between version of SF kernel module and the Oracle factory default kernel version.

Is it important or not? How can I build a right SF kernel modul version for OEL 6.1?
