Same problem on CentOS 4.4 - x86_64 - PE 1950 & 2950

yum install srvadmin-all responds 'Nothing to do'
I then try yum install srvadmin-webserver and packages start
downloading and installing, however:

Since everything is compiled for 32 bits, I have 32 bits RPMs installed on the machine,
It worked with OMSA 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4.

I get similar 'cannot execute binary file' errors when trying to do BIOS
upgrades on all my 64 bits machines.

Any suggestion?
Thanks,
