Have you recompiled everything (netatalk related)? Are RH 6.0's
userland stuff (esp modules) being used? What does ``freeze'' mean? not
boot? boot, but can't load modules? boot, run, but kerneld dies when
atalkd begins?
One big difference between the kernel in redhat 5.2 and 6.0 is that SMP
is enabled by default in redhat 6.0. So, just changing the kernel isn't
enough.
