PC/SC kernel panic with Omnikey 5321

Hi all,
       I'm trying to get the RFID interface of an Omnikey 5321 reader
working with pcscd.  For reasons outside of my control, I'm stuck using
a 2.4 kernel (RH 9).  I downloaded pcsc-lite 1.4.0, as well as the RFID
driver available from Omnikey.  When I ran pcsc-lite it gave me a
message about hotplug support disabled with the Omnikey driver, so I
assume it loaded the driver properly.  However, as soon as I insert the
reader, I get a kernel panic.  It all happens too quickly to see any
useful messages.

Is this a possible configuration?  Do current versions of pcsc-lite
support a 2.4 kernel or do I need an older version?

I have an email in to Omnikey, but on the first round they just told me
to upgrade my kernel, which I can't.

If this isn't possible, are there any suggestions for alternatives?  My
goal is to integrate this with a Java application, so I eventually need
to get a Java API in place.  One possibility may be librfid which
supports the Omnikey 5321, but I guess I'd probably have to write a JNI
library.

Please excuse my muscle/pcsc/smart card newbie-ness. :-)

Thanks,
Justin
