With 2.1R make sure you define COMAT_IBCS2 when building your kernel. What works best is from the latest snapshot of 2.2. You don't need to worry abou defining COMPAT_IBCS2 when building the kernel (the generic kernel will work fine), but you do need to rebuild the lkm by applying one imporant patch: change 0 to sendsig in line 53 of ibcs2_sysvec.c.
