Problem:
ibm-prtm service does not come up in HS21, on MRG 1.3 dev kernel (2.6.33 based).
I have tested with 2.6.33.1-rt11.9.el5rt.

[root@elm9m95 ~]# /etc/init.d/ibm-prtm start
IBM Real-Time HW Daemon: BIOS Real-Time module loaded.
Starting ibm-prtmd: DMI and EDAC do not agree on the amount of memory.
Proper reporting of ecc errors is not possible.
Please check your system configuration.
IBM Real-Time HW Daemon: An error has occurred!            [FAILED]
IBM Real-Time HW Daemon: Your system may experience System Management Interrupts.
IBM Real-Time HW Daemon: Please check your system configuration.


Looking inside :

[root@elm9m95 ~]# /sbin/ibm-prtmd 
IBM Premium Real-Time Mode not enabled!

More info:

[root@elm9m95 ~]# rpm -qa|grep ibm-prtm
ibm-prtm-1.2-1.el5rt

[root@elm9m95 ~]# cat /etc/issue
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga)

Steps to reproduce:

I just realized the regex pattern in ibm-prtmd not matching with 'Handle' string
in dmidecode output and dmidata was empty.

Also checked that new ibm-prtm package (v1.6) addresses this issue.

[root@elm9m95 ibm-prtm-1.6]# /etc/init.d/ibm-prtm status
ibm-prtmd is stopped

[root@elm9m95 ibm-prtm-1.6]# /etc/init.d/ibm-prtm start
IBM Real-Time HW Daemon: BIOS Real-Time module loaded.
IBM Real-Time HW Daemon: System Management Interrupts have been disabled to
IBM Real-Time HW Daemon: allow this system to run in Real-Time Mode.

[root@elm9m95 ibm-prtm-1.6]# /etc/init.d/ibm-prtm status
ibm-prtmd (pid  11596) is running...

Vernon, you may need to follow up with RH folks with this bug as reference
to ship new ibm-prtm package in their repo.
