Has anyone gotten HP/Compaq's linux support tools to load on FC6?
I have a two-processor DL380 G3 and was trying to use the "Support Pack" from http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/locate/1145_6213.html
but specifically I want the array configuration utility (to manage arrays) and the NIC agents, which I think are required to get the system fans to slow down and be quiet.
At first it complained that it wasn't installing on a known release. I tried to fool it by creating /etc/redhat-release with "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5 (Tikanga)" with no sucess--it tries to install now but complains about the kernel.
Have googled & looked in fedora-list archives & not seen anything on this issue.
Thanks, Heath

The only way to make this work is to use RHEL or RHEL clones like CentOS, because only these have enough compatibility. I tried it on CentOS (running on some Proliant DL xxx), but it wasn't very stable.
Good luck, Guy
