Package: ipmitool Version: 1.8.18-5ubuntu0.1 Severity: important I'm seeing this bug on Ubuntu 18.04, but from what I can see in ipmitool 1.8.18-8 in sid, it is presumably still an issue.
ipmievd fails to start on boot with: Could not open device at /dev/ipmi0 ... By the time I look at this, /dev/ipmi0 exists. The issue is that ipmievd is starting before the ipmi drivers are loaded. The ipmi modules are loaded by openipmi.service. Adding the following to ipmievd.service solves the problem: [Unit] After=openipmi.service -- Richard
