Yep, the dual install looks like an up2date problem. I've never relied on up2date; I mirror the RPM's and run RPM by hand, so I didn't see this problem. One thing I did was merge the ntp.conf and ntp.conf.rpmnew to create an updated ntp.conf file, picking up the new driftfile location.
Good luck -Bob Arendt
