Error while using bootstrap_firmware

[Adam Goodall]

Hi

 

I've just started trying to use the tools within the software repository
to manage firmware levels of our boxes. Initial tests seems to work well
however yesterday I tried again with a new server and I couldn't get the
bootstrap_firmware command to work. I checked again on a box I knew I
had it working with and it still worked, I then updated the box and now
get the same error with bootstrap_firmware.

 

Is there any known bugs in the latest version of the code?

 

Here is what I get:

 

[root at localhost ~]# uname -a

Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.9-67.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Nov 7 13:58:04 EST
2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

 

[root at localhost ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release

Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 6)

The version of the packages I am using are:

firmware-tools          noarch     2.0.2-1.el4

 libsmbios               i386       2.0.0_BETA_1-1.el4

 python-decoratortools   noarch     1.4-2.el4

 smbios-utils            i386       2.0.0_BETA_1-1.el4

 

If anyone can shed any light on this I would really appreciate it!

 

Thanks

Adam
