I just subscribed to the list so I don't have the original post to reply
to, but I'm having the same problem. Seems to come from an error in the
output from dell_inventory_collector.
The 'device="e"' output for the Perc5/i controller below doesn't seem
right. Anyone knows how to correct this? Bug? Everything works fine for
me on hosts without the Perc5/i.
[root at pe2 dell_inventory_collector_version_5.5.0]# yum list
installed|egrep '^dell|firmware|libsmbios'
dell-dup.noarch                          1.1.2-1.15.el5
installed
dell_inventory_collector.noarch          5.5.0-1
installed
firmware-addon-dell.x86_64               2.1.2-4.2.el5
installed
firmware-tools.noarch                    2.1.2-4.2.el5
installed
libsmbios-devel.x86_64                   2.2.5-1.1.el5
installed
libsmbios2.x86_64                        2.2.5-1.1.el5
installed



Did anyone get to the bottom of this? I found that rolling back the
dell_inventory_collector to v 5.4 allows the update to run, as soon as I
put 5.5 back on I get a similar trace as the original poster.

Thanks
Adam
