After upgrade to OMSA 5.2 on Etch nothing longer works

[Alessandro FAGLIA]

Hi list.

On a PE840 with Debian Etch I've recently tried to upgrade OMSa from 5.1 
to 5.2.
I had some problems, so I tried to do the same on a similar machine 
(PE840 with SAS5iR).

This is the output of the installation and configuration procedure 
(aptitude):

OMSA 5.1 was working (except for the storage controller, for which I'm 
reporting my problems in another thread...).
I guess the problem is in the new deb package...

Has anybody experienced this problem? How can I fix it (at least where 
to look)?


Thanks and regards.
