OK, this looks for me like the Linux Kernel is detected as 3.0 instead
of 2.6.
Could you (if needed with your SAP consultant) login and check, if
there is something about the "unknown 3.0 kernel"? In this case the
SAP Kernel should be updated.

Yes the 2.6 compatibility environment was only inteded to be used as
a bridge between the avaialblibity of Linux 3.0 kernel and the customer
to be able to update to newest SAP Kernels like 720 PL 402 or so.

Sorry, that I couldn't solve that problem via this list, it now gets
very SAP and support specific - if you have already opened a ticket at
SUSE, please reference to that thread (my colleague already has read
it :) and than we could help you with professional support.

In sum its that SAP also wants you to update to the newer SAP kernels
and my guess is that this is exactly your problem. While
starting/stopping  the instance with login-user/shell will lead into the
2.6 compat environment, the RA still runs in 3.0.

==> solution is either to change one line in RA (NOT preferred) or to
update SAP kernel to current version (very appreciated and preferred :)
