Yes, it is the commerical OSS, they said they won't support any pre
kernels but will support 2.0.34 when it comes out so this may just be a
bug with the program that will be fixed when 2.0.34 comes out officially.
The problem is that one module, vibes, will not load properly giving the
above error when installing. Besides that 2.0.34pre4 is running well. :)
