Problem: dsm_om_shrsvc service autostart brings eth0 down after booting

[Andres Toomsalu]

Made some more tests - apparently the problem is between dsm_om_shrsvc 
and xend service. Workaround:  dsm_om_shrsvc must be run AFTER xend.

In order to do that replace '#  chkconfig: 345 96 04' line in  
/etc/init.d/dsm_om_shrsvc init script with the following line '#  
chkconfig: 345 99 04'.

Hope there will be official fix in srvadmin-all packages - as running 
Xen on RHEL5 is not so uncommon nowdays.

What I have seen so far there is clearly a problem with srvadmin-all 
rpms QA.

Regards,
