This is the Memory Mapped I/O problem that we spoke about earlier. This is the short story, there various permutations of ways to do in-band communication with the BMC (IPMI service processor) in Linux. Currently FreeIPMI covers 3 of them (I think). Several aren't practically used at all in the world, so there are no machines to develop against. Your's is the first one we've ever seen with a KCS Memory Mapped I/O interface :-) In the mean time, the IBM configuration tool should work to atleast setup the minimum IP address, username, and password. Once that is complete, you can use the IPMI over LAN to do all of the remaining setup. > The only other SUSE architecture I have is i686 so I will build the > RPMS on it and send you the RPMS.
