I'm using varying versions of Ubuntu stock kernels: 2.6.17-10 2.6.22-14 2.6.20-15
I just tried installing the modules and device on a different machine with 2.6.20-15, and got a different error than the -17. On the command line: FATAL: Error inserting ipmi_si (/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-server/kernel/ drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si.ko): No such device In kern.log: ipmi_si: Unable to find any System Interface(s) As usual, the rest of the ipmi modules are installed, and /dev/ipmi0 has been created.
