This was a good suggestion.
I think I get it now.
It seems I mistakenly set
"sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.18"
at some point in /etc/sysctl.conf.
I later corrected this to
"compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.18"

The correct option is now in use.
However, because sysctl -a reports
information from several previous boots,
I still get the error message from when
/etc/sysctl.conf was incorrect.

Does this sould right?

Thank you

Anton
