It is a new kernel ... unlike the RHEL-3 kernel (where they left stuff
enabled and removed it from the kernel) in RHEL-4 they turned everything
off ... so there is no way to turn it on except to recompile the whole
kernel with everything on. We did not want to name it the same thing as
the old kernel, so you have another kernel in grub to boot from.
