ASM and OCFS on Centos-plus 5.3

Question

Friends
Did anyone install and configure oracleasm and/or ocfs on centos-plus 5.3?
I am trying to configure, rpm installation goes fine, but when I try to configure asm, I get error that "oracleasm module not loaded"/... Same message for ocfs
Any suggestion/help.
Thanks in advance
PG

Thanks for your update.
Well, I tried ocfs workaround.. it didn't help..
When I use following rpms,
[root@rac2 ~]# rpm -qa |grep ocfs
ocfs2console-1.4.1-1.el5
ocfs2-tools-1.4.1-1.el5
ocfs2-2.6.18-128.1.6.el5-1.4.1-1.el5
[root@rac2 ~]#
I get following error
[root@rac2 init.d]# chkconfig --del o2cb
[root@rac2 init.d]# chkconfig --add o2cb
[root@rac2 init.d]# chkconfig --list o2cb
o2cb 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
[root@rac2 init.d]# /etc/init.d/o2cb offline ocfs2

When I try different rpm (lower version)
[root@rac2 ~]# rpm -qa |grep ocfs
ocfs2-2.6.18-128.1.6.el5-1.2.9-1.el5
ocfs2console-1.2.7-1.el5
ocfs2-tools-1.2.7-1.el5
[root@rac2 ~]#
I get following error
[root@rac2 init.d]# vi o2cb
[root@rac2 init.d]# chkconfig --del o2cb
[root@rac2 init.d]# chkconfig --add o2cb
[root@rac2 init.d]# chkconfig --list o2cb

I will try ASM workaround now and see if that works
