[ANNOUNCE] Release of Dell OpenManage ServerAdministrator 5.0

[Michael_E_Brown at Dell.com]

That doesn't actually fix the problem, as the ipmi driver installed in
your kernel will be too old. What you need to do is install the kernel
source for your distro. For RHEL4, I believe this would be the
kernel-devel package. Then you can either manually 'dkms build ...' and
'dkms install ...' the driver, or remove and reinstall the RPM which
will do the same thing.
