Sigh. Probably an additional driver that redhat adds to the enterprise
kernel but is not available in the "normal" redhat kernel. Probably the
easiest fix (of course not "easy" for everyone) would be to rebuilt the
enterprise kernel itself with the capabilities patch. 

Have you tried to non-redhat Planet CCRMA kernel? (based currently on
2.4.26).

I'm afraid only one fstab is all you have :-)

One solution that occurs to me is that you could another swap entry
pointing to the new location of swap. One or the other will be ignored
depending on which kernel you boot.
