I have the exact same problem. I'm running RedHat 7.2 on a 300 MHz Pentium II with
192MB of RAM, and the python interpreter crashes after Step 2. I have rhn_register-
2.7.9-7.x.2. I tracked the crash to /usr/share/rhn/register/hardware.py, line 266 (line that
crashes is commented below):
def read_dmi():
uname = string.lower(os.uname()[4])
dmidict = {}
if not uname[0] == "i" or not uname[-2:] == "86":
return {}
# Looks like IA32, try reading dmi
try:
import dmi
except:
return {}
# Now try to parse DMI
try:
d = dmi.DMI() #!!!CRASH IS HERE!!!
Replacing the offending line with "return {}" made the problem go away and allowed me
to register.
