This is the issue. It looks like a bug in your DMI information. Notice
that it say the address is 0xca2 and it is memory mapped. That is
almost certainly wrong, as you would never have a memory mapped device
at that address. It's almost certainly I/O mapped.
You can attempt to work around this by specifying "type=kcs ports=0xca2"
when modprob-ing ipmi_si:
rmmod ipmi_si
modprobe ipmi_si type=kcs ports=0xca2
Alternately, you can hot-add the device to the running driver using:
echo "add,kcs,i/o,0xca2" >/sys/module/ipmi_si/parameters/hotmod
And of course, you can complain to your motherboard vendor.
