For the archive: On Dell PowerEdge x8xx servers with 2.6.14 or 2.6.15 kernels, x86_64 architecture, ipmi_si can't automatically find the KCS interface to the controller. This should be fixed in 2.6.16. Until then, use the following manual workaround:
# modprobe ipmi_msghandler # modprobe ipmi_si type="kcs" ports="0xca8" regspacing="4" # modprobe ipmi_devintf You can also put the ipmi_si options into /etc/modprobe.conf as such: options ipmi_si type="kcs" ports="0xca8" regspacing="4" Thanks, Matt -- Matt Domsch Software Architect Dell Linux Solutions linux.dell.com & www.dell.com/linux Linux on Dell mailing lists @ http://lists.us.dell.com ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
