I didn’t have to bisect! Woo! While ipmitool no longer seems to function, once
I enable ipmi in my running kernel I can successfully reboot a 6.7
ipmi-of-this-vintage system now - where previously, from 6.6 going back into
late 4.x land, these systems would hang on reboot until I reset the BMC. I no
longer have to create a custom /etc/rc.shutdown and other things that did evil
stuff like reset the bmc just before rebooting the box in order to avoid a
lockup. Oh right, my point:
THANK YOU FOR FIXING UP THE IPMI CODE! THANK YOU!
