Cannot update firmware

[Bas Gooren]

In reply to my own message, I have found instructions over here (http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/firmware-tools-devel/2008-March/000311.html) to see what XML the inventory collector produces.

As you can see the <Device> element for the PERC 5/i has a "device" attribute with value "e" where the inventory collector expects an integer. How do I find out why it's showing an "e"?
