Got a strange one here.  Just upgraded the kernel and asm.
/etc/init.d/oracelasm configure wont load oracleasm, but a manual load
works.  Also, it doesnt load on boot, but I can do a manual start and it
works every time.  Any ideas?  Probably something simple having to do with a
linux configuration, but I am still a little weak on Linux, this is oel 5.5
64.:

Configuring the Oracle ASM library driver.

This will configure the on-boot properties of the Oracle ASM library
driver.  The following questions will determine whether the driver is
loaded on boot and what permissions it will have.  The current values
will be shown in brackets ('[]').  Hitting <ENTER> without typing an
answer will keep that current value.  Ctrl-C will abort.

Default user to own the driver interface [oracle]:
Default group to own the driver interface [dba]:
Start Oracle ASM library driver on boot (y/n) [y]:
Scan for Oracle ASM disks on boot (y/n) [y]:
