Ipmitool tends to not set the in progress flags before setting things
or the commit or set complete flags. The flags are in the spec
obviously. On my hardware I need to set them.
For example to boot from pxe I have to type:
ipmitool raw 0 8 0 1 # Set in progress
ipmitool chassis set bootdev pxe
ipmitool raw 0 8 0 2 # Commit
ipmitool raw 0 8 0 0 # Set complete
I'm kind of a newbie at IPMI though, so I'm not sure what the best
place to fix this is...
The boot parameter stuff was added in a hurry and didn't get proper support for all parameters. The most recent eratta shows a lot of changes in this feature (legacy vs. EFI boot, console redir control, etc) so it probably needs an entire overhaul... I will fix the handling of the set-in-progress flag at a minimum and other support can be added as needed.
