On an Intel Server Board SE7525GP2, with a National PC87431M mini-Baseboard Management Controller, I patched 2.6.16 with the latest, built the components as modules, and inserted them with this result in dmesg:
ipmi device interface i2c /dev entries driver IPMI SMB Interface driver ipmi_smb: DMI specifies SSIF @ 0x42 ipmi_smb: DMI specifies slave address at 0x84 IPMI System Interface driver. ipmi_si: Unable to find any System Interface(s) IPMI Watchdog: driver initialized Copyright (C) 2004 MontaVista Software - IPMI Powerdown via sys_reboot. i6300ESB timer: initialized (0xf8828800). heartbeat=30 sec (nowayout=0) I'm not sure why this i6300esb driver inserts and gives a positive receipt -- I didn't think I had that chip.

Suggestions for getting this to work? Or don't I need ipmi_si?
