[rhn-users] Invalid architecture OS combination?

[avenier at venier.net]

I have been tried to register for the Update channel several 
times, but keep having problems with the automated system 
identification refusing the system.

It is Red Hat Advanced Server 3.0 AS on Intel x86, a common 
enough combination, I would have thought ...

The message given is:

"Invalid Architecture and OS release combination (3AS, i686-
redhat-linux).
Your system has been registered, but will not receive updates 
because it is not subscribed to a channel."

Any advice?  Also, the kernel comes up as "unknown" on the 
details tab...

uname -a returns:

Linux [hostname] 2.4.21-9.0.1.EL #1 Mon Feb 9 22:44:14 EST 
2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

/proc/version shows:

At telnet prompt, /etc/issue message shows:
