Hi Abhishek, The problem clearly comes from the way OS_Detect is parsing /etc/redhat-release, it seems they changed the naming pattern.
I created a bug report... let's see who will be the first to check-in a patch for that. :-) http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/trac/oscar/ticket/412 BTW, everytime you have to implement a work-around, feel free to submit a bug report, using directly the Trac system or sending the bug report here. More we have bug reports, faster we can address users issues.
