Well, my 2 cents :

The script above uses those HP drivers :

  hpasm-7.0.0-21.rhel21.i386.rpm
  cmastor-7.0.0-16.linux.i386.rpm

Obviously, the hpasm is for RHEL 2.1.

On Compaq's FTP site ftp.compaq.com/pub/products/servers/supportsoftware/linux/,
the latests equivalents are :

  hpasm-7.1.1b-95.rhel3.i386.rpm
  cmastor-7.1.0-12.linux.i386.rpm

Then, the hpasm is for RHEL 3.
As I do know nothing about RH, I have no idea which kernel is used on
RHEL 3... Google says me 2.4.21.

I don't know if HP has certified its health driver for 2.6.

Doesn't help much, sorry,
