Also make sure, the KCS Driver supports 32bit Boundaries/register spacing instead of 8Bit (Byte) and takes the correct Base address. If the driver analyzes and handles the SMBIOS record 38 correctly, this should be no problem.

Hi Andrew,
Below is the details that i got via 'dmidecode' about IPMI interface:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IPMI Device Information
    Interface Type: KCS (Keyboard Control Style)
    Specification Version: 1.5
    I2C Slave Address: 0x10
    NV Storage Device: Not Present
    Base Address: 0x0000000000000CA8 (I/O)
    Register Spacing: 32-bit Boundaries
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here, Base Address is differing than 0xCA2.
Now to install KCS Driver, do i need to make Base Address 0xCA2 ?? If Yes, how can i make it??

Matt,
what say ??

Thanks & Regards,
Rajendra

Rajendra,
 
There are two likely possibilities:
The Dell 2850 may support IPMI via an interface other than KCS (SMBus, SMIC, etc.), or
it may have a KCS base address other than 0xCA2 that was not detected in its SMBIOS data.
 
What does 'dmidecode' say about the IPMI interface on this system?

Hi all,
I am trying to configure IPMI on Dell 2850 machine with 2.4.32.ES3b kernel running on it. I have successfully installed IPMItool on it.
Now I know i need to install following modules in Linux:
- ipmi_msghandler
- ipmi_devintf
- ipmi_kcs_drv
I have installed the first two modules also, but not able to install ipmi_kcs_drv.
Following is, what i got when tried to install ipmi_kcs_drv :

$ insmod ipmi_kcs_drv
Using /lib/modules/2.4.32-ES3b/kernel/drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_kcs_drv.o
/lib/modules/2.4.32-ES3b/kernel/drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_kcs_drv.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg

I am not able to figure out, what the problem is? Why ipmi_kcs_drv is giving me problem in installing when ipmi_msghandler and ipmi_devintf have been installed successfully?

Can anyone kindly help me, how can i installed KCS driver??  Anyone?

Thanks and Regards,
Rajendra
