You need to load the osf1.ko kernel module.   I think I neglected to
mention this..  Sorry!

Linux is a disgusting hack; rather than "go native" they kept the
osf/1 syscall interface (syscall numbers, args & flags) after they
bootstrapped themselves off of osf/1.  Since we already run the OSF/1
abi fairly well, we might as well use that in the linulater ;-)
