CentOS - May 2005 - Hewlett Packard Server support packs

I am trying to install the HP PSP on a CentOS 3.4 server but it keeps 
telling me, only on certain rpms mind you,
that the OS is not supported.  I have made the modifications to 
redhat-release which cleared up some of the initial
errors I was having but not all.  Where else would the rpms be getting 
the OS info from?  Better yet, has anyone
managed to get the Linux PSP to install on a CentOS box?

Thanks
Chris

almost certainly it is looking for certain strings which it is 
not finding.  strace is your friend

maybe /etc/issue and /etc/issue.net

Ok, changed them but still the same issue.  Could it be that it needs to 
be restarted or something reloaded?

Thanks for the pointer!

/etc/issue and /etc/issue.net are typically generated on Fedora-based
systems in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit at boot-time using uname and/or
/etc/*-release.

I recently spent 2 days fighting with a bug in CentOS 4 relating to the
PSP for RHEL4.

I am still putting the details together, but there is definitely a bug
that impacts the Qlogic 2214 HBA driver under CentOS 4, but not RHEL 4.

That being said, I was able to install PSPs on a DL580 G2 under Centos 3
and 4 by changing redhat/centos-release.
