OMSA 5.1 on CentOS 4.4 x86_64

[Richard Andrews]

Eugene,

I discovered the ipmi init script that wasn't enabled via chkconfig that
was causing my headache.  After starting it and running
srvadmin-services.sh restart, everything fired up perfectly.

Richard,
You can give a try to this repository that supposed to install the
latest OMSA

http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Repository/hardware

Start with srvadmin-base, check the dependencies and install them
one-by-one. You may see an error message at the time of ipmi
installation. I tried that procedure just few days ago on CentOS 4.5
x86_64 but unfortunately was unable to troubleshoot that. Hopefully it
will work for you. In any case please update me with your findings.
