Hi, Actually, one more side thought. When you run ipmi-locate, does it find any IPMI devices on your system?
> [timestamp] ipmi_si: Unable to find any System Interface(s) I don't know the inner details of the kernel driver, but I'm wondering if it cannot find a device, it doesn't know what to do. It's possible IPMI is fully supported on your system, but you can only communicate to a predefined address.
