Ok, I got things working. I had missed a little piece of the entry in /etc/redhat-release. "Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (taroon)" is what is in there now as well as in /etc/issue and /etc/issue.net. I will revert back as soon as I get one issue taken care of but the above is correct. I am not sure if "(taroon)" is required for other things but it doesn't appear to be with the HP stuff.
