[Spacewalk-list] Updating a machine after registering.

[Gerhardus.Geldenhuis at gta-travel.com]

Hi
I am using the following versions on the client machine:
rhn-profile-sync (Red Hat Network Client Tools) 0.4.17-8.el5

rhn packages
~~~~~~~~~~~~
rhnlib-2.2.5-1.el5
yum-rhn-plugin-0.5.3-6.6
rhn-check-0.4.17-8.el5
rhnsd-4.6.1-1.el5
rhn-setup-0.4.17-8.el5
rhn-client-tools-0.4.17-8.el5

which are running on Centos5 2.6.18-92.el5xen #1 SMP Tue Jun 10 19:20:18
EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The dates are synced properly. Running rhn-profile-sync gives the
following error:
Updating package profile...
Updating hardware profile...
Error reading hardware information: dbus_bindings.DBusException
Error reading dmi info : dbus_bindings.DBusException

So it appears to be working for package profile but not for the hardware
profile. It does not however update the package profile on the spacewalk
server. 

How do I check if there is an incompatibility between the base channel
of the activation key used for registration and the system I am trying
to update?

Regards
