How to install older ohai in omnibus chef install

Chef Infra (archive)
1

It seems that ohai 6.14.0 which is included in the latest omnibus installer
has a bug again with detecting Linux VServer guest ip’s properly, so I need
to use the ohai 0.6.12 or 0.6.8 release. After a fresh omnibus chef
install, how would I remove ohai 6.14.0 and install ohai 0.6.12? I need to
do it outside of Chef and get the ohai version changed before Chef run’s
for the first time, since ohai fails completley and Chef won’t run at all.
Any ideas how to do this?

Please file a bug against Ohai at http://tickets.opscode.com.

You can run:
/opt/chef/embedded/bin/gem install ohai -v 0.6.12

Then use uninstall to remove the newer version.
