Hi there,
I was trying to use the, may be, "existing" support in FC3 for IPMI.
I've seen that there are several modules in /lib/modules/2.6.9-1.667
[smp]/kernel/drivers/char/ipmi that seem to be related with th OpenIPMI
project. There are also the three headers in /lib/modules/2.6.9-1.667
[smp]/build/include/linux ipmi.h, ipmi_msgdefs.h, ipmi_si.h.
However, trying to run this modules by doing:
insmod ipmi_msghandler.ko
insmod ipmi_devintf.ko
insmod ipmi_watchdog.ko
insmod ipmi_poweroff.ko
insmod ipmi_si.ko
seems to work half the way, as the last command complains of not finding
the device with the following messages in dmesg:
IPMI System Interface driver version v33, KCS version v33, SMIC version
v33, BT version v33
ACPI: System description tables not found
ipmi_si: Found SMBIOS-specified state machine at I/O address 0xca9
Trying to free free IRQ4
ipmi_si: Unable to find any System Interface(s)
even so, the device appears in /proc/devices with major 254 just loading
the ipmi_msghandler.ko module, but any attempt to open it (after being
created with mknod) gives the EINVAL error..
So, I would like to know if FC3 supports natively IPMI and under which
conditions. If it doesn't, what are the modules ipmi_* for?.
Should I use the Montavista kernel patches in order to get support for
IPMI in FC3?
David.
