I'm trying to install the latest version of Proliant Support Pack for Linux that works with RHEL 5 so I installed with the install811.sh script. It failed to install hpsmh via the install script so I tried to do it manually and got below error. Has anyone encounter this before?

A couple of things you can check: 1. Check if /etc/redhat-release exists and has correct information. 2. (Not very recommended, consider as last option) use the --nopre switch to rpm to skip the pre-check script. :-)
