Can I get come more info on this? Are you entering an installation number?
In my Environment I am using Kickstart to build out all of my servers and they all have a valid installation number entered during the install process. From a base RHEL 5 install I run rhn_register, it registeres fine but during the "Sending profile to RedHat" it gets to 80% exits with this error. Oddly enough it just spits an error out but the server is registered with RHN and I can use yum to fetch patches without any problems.
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release.
This bug was fixed by renaming the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/install-num file...the rhn_register script would then complete without throwing an uncaught exception...this fix was provided by Redhat support.
