Hello Robert,
I also tried using lmsensors but I was not able to make it work.
There are a lot of tools on the ISM installer. If you install the ldipmi-8.50.0.i386.rpm, ipmitool will work. But this daemon only works on limited OS. I have tried it on RedHat AS 3, RedHat AS 4 and SLES 9. You can also install the smbase-8.50.0.i386.rpm and the mgmtutils-8.50.0.i386.rpm, this installs a set of useful tools in /usr/Intel/IPMI/bin/ldipmisense. Try the ldipmisense tool, it produces an XML output of the sensor readings.
You can also use the ISM software, but they said that the software is released specifically for RedHat AS 3 only. I don't know if they have updates.

Thanks for the quick response, Roy! I've als o tried the i2c-2.9.2/lmsensors-2.9.2/i2c-ipmi/bmcsensors to no avail.
I'll try the ISM route. Just curious, what was the address the 87431 device located at?
Also if I went the ISM route, would I still be able to use ipmitool (or may be Intel CLI utility) to get the sensors data?

You need the i2c patch in order for the ipmi_smb to work. But I don't think there are available i2c patches for the 2.4 kernel.
I also encountered the same problem before. Having exhausted all solutions, I ended up using the Intel Server Management software.
You might want to try the wor king kernel 2.6 drivers.

I'm having problems trying to use OpenIPMI on a SE7520JR2 baseboard. The problem is very similar to what
John Fusco had (See email thread "Ipmi_si and Intel SE7520JR235"). The difference is that I'm running
kernel 2.4.20-8(!!). I don't have an IMM either.
I loaded ipmi_msghandler.o, ipmi_devintf.o and ipmi_sbm_intf.o (I understand that I don't want to use
ipmi_si_drv.o). lsmod showed i2c_core was also loaded.
But when I used ipmitool, it doesn't work. I've applied the patches from sourceforge for Linux 2.4.
Following the email t hreads here, it seems that I need the i2c patch also, but I couldn't find it in
the patches for
2.4. Also I understand that there is some problems in getting the OpenIPMI patches
to work with kernel 2.4.x.
So my questions are:
1) Is it possible at all to use OpenIPMI in
2.4.20-8 on the SE7520JR2 board with the mBMC device?
Where could I get the correct i2c drivers or patches?
2) If I get the IMM module, would I be able to use the ipmi_si_drv.o?
Please help!
Best Regards,
Robert.
