stumped on shared memory problems

Got zoneminder 1.24.1 installed successfully on intrepid Server. Just can't work out this invalid shared memory problem and no image capture. Same Cam Worked fine on Intrepid Desktop under ZM 1.23.X

Tail /tmp/zmwatch.log
06/07/2009 12:53:54.345069 zmwatch[9662].INF [Watchdog starting]
06/07/2009 12:53:54.347488 zmwatch[9662].INF [Watchdog pausing for 30 seconds]
06/07/2009 12:54:34.386470 zmwatch[9662].ERR [Can't get shared memory id '7a6d0001', 1: No such file or directory]

tail messages:

cat /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
3221225472

so:
kernel.shmall = 3221225472
kernel.shmmax = 3221225472

although I have played with other shmmax settings.

Any idea as to what might be wrong? or things to try?

I would greatly appreciate any help.

I found it...Seems I had the wrong http version selected for my cam. Changed network options to http version 1.0 and all is well. :wink:
