there were various problems with netatalk breaking the kernel
module, but that was in the redhat 5.x era, with associated kernels.
this should be fixed about the same time as the MacOS 8.x updates
and "dancing icons" bug fix ...

i haven't touched this stuff for years, and have no test boxen
ATM... 

what version of thingys are you using?

yours,
