hmmm, mine *already is*: kcs,i/o,0xca8,rsp=4,rsi=1,rsh=0,irq=0,ipmb=194 (194 = 0xc2) I have not changed anything, just service ipmi start. I admit I don't know how the kernel driver works and how it's configured - how did it detect it's not 0x20? I use internal RHEL 5-like kernel and to be honest, I don't know what OpenIPMI driver is there :( I might try vanilla one if it helps you debug things. When getting SDR (using IPMI_SYSTEM_INTERFACE_ADDR_TYPE), SDR record tells me the owner of the sensor is 0xc2 (sensor->keys.owner_id), i.e. if I understand it correctly, it points to itself. But ipmitool thinks the local IPMI address is 0x20 and tries to bridge the sensor reading to IPMB addr 0xc2 (addr_type = IPMI_IPMB_ADDR_TYPE, ipmi_ipmb_addr.slave_addr=0xc2) and gets error. Soooo, it seems I need to convince ipmitool that local address is not 0x20 but 0xc2 using '-m' parameter and the target is 0xc2 too using '-t'. This seems to work, but can it be automatized? Customers don't like the '-m/t' voodoo, especially when ipmitool was working in the old version. Ipmitool could look what's the real IPMB address instead 0x20 at open(/dev/ipmi) time... What ioctl to use and how? I can hack the ipmitool part then.
