Driver for kernel 2.6.18-238.19.1.el5 does not exist: Getting this error for "oracleasm update-driver"

[unix syzadmin]

i guess "oracleasm update-driver" is supposed to connect and download the
rpms from oracle website.  Wondering why it was not working.

However; I manually downloaded from the URL that you specified.

Thanks,
