My problem is, that generating a working agent on SLES 11 is more than just a 
make command. I drove into several errors (especially path specific) so I asked 
about its state in february and the negative answer was:  "... SLES was 
attempted ...". 
More see here:

So I reduced my requirements and searched a way to populate the columns
IP and hostname in OVirt. This should be not more than doing an "echo ..."
into the serial port.
