Thanks for doing so. Once you were able to test it work, remove
please the moreinfo tag here and we will have a look.

Hi Salvatore!
I did rebuild the kernel, adding:
CONFIG_HP_ILO=m
to debian/config/arm64/config, rebuilt the package, took the hpilo.ko
(while it was still building, because it was otherwise taking too long),
copied the file into my server, ran "depmod -a" manually, and then
"modprobe hpilo" just worked, and I had /dev/hpilo working.
Note that I did this on a Bookworm server, running a fairly old-ish
Bookworm kernel (we don't mind much as this server isn't available on
the public internet), but it should sill be the same on more recent kernel.
So, as a result, it'd be nice if we had this option enabled on all arm64
kernels, and if possible, in older releases too (like Trixie and
Bookworm?), that'd be nice.
Cheers,
Thomas Goirand (zigo)
