Cannot start oracle asmlib on rhel53

Hello experts,

Cannot start oracleasm on linux.

The thing is that I have pretty old kernel (do not have access to update network at this moment), and I cannot find asmlib for same kernel version from oracle site. I try now to use pervieos version of asmlib, oracleasm-2.6.18-92.1.22...

uname -r
2.6.18-120.el5

Ive spoken with linux admins, they told that they cannot update linux to kernel version where asmlib is supported. They said that can update to latest version only, and I affraid that I cannot find proper asmlib version. What do you think?

Thanks in advance! Error log follows

Ive got centos 5.3 image with kernel .18-128 with matching asmlib.
Asmlib started perfectly.
