perc6 questions

[Baird, Josh]

You will need to either edit srvadmin-install.sh or /etc/redhat-release for the install scripts to work on CentOS.

I had the same problem on my install of CentOs 5.1 (x86_64 bit) on a  
2950 with perc6

Initially I installed OM 5.2.0 according to the wiki info: http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Repository/hardware
I used the yum setup method.

This works, but OM 5.2 doesn't recognise the perc6 controller.

I downloaded OM_5.3.0_ManNode_A00.tar.gz (OpenManage managed node)  
from the regular Dell download site.

The setup/install scripts didn't work for me, I just did a 'rpm -Uvh  
*' from the RPMS directory. In my case the linux/RPMS/RHEL5 directory.
