What version are you running? "raidtools" is not included in K12LTSP 4.2.x,
but it is not removed when upgrading from older versions. If you upgraded
from an earlier version to 4.2.0, and you don't use RAID, you might
want to just "rpm -e raidtools".

Hopefully soon. I'm heading into "spring break", which means I'll be
insanely busy trying to get stuff done at work while everyone else is
taking the week off ;-)
