OMSA unsupported on R200?

Hi,

I have 4 Dell R200 systems, each running RHEL 5.

I'm trying to install OMSA, using the RPMs from Dell CD that came with
the server, loaded into my local yum repository.  The version I am
using is 5.4.0-260.i386.rpm

I receive the following error:

srvadmin-syscheck: This RPM is not supported on this system (sysid=01EB)

I've had a look at the preinstall scriptlet, and I don't see my sysid
listed under [SystemsSupported].

I'm somewhat surprised to learn that OMSA on the disk supplied with
the system doesn't work with the system with which it was supplied.

What's your recommendation?  Can I hack the preinstall scriptlet, and
rebuild the RPM - will it work anyway?  Or is there a different
version of OMSA needed for R200 machines?

S.
