Quick recipe to make ipmi work on this board, running Debian etch: 1. download kernel 2.6.16 from kernel.org 2. download linux-i2c-2.6.16-v39.0.diff for core i2c changes from openipmi 3. download linux-i2c-i801-2.6.16-v39.0.diff for Intel i2c driver update 4. download linux-ipmibase-2.6.16-v39.0.diff for core IPMI changes 5. download linux-ipmismb-2.6.16-v39.0.diff for IPMI SMBUS support 6. copy to kernel directory and apply all patches (I also applied the 2.6.16.12 patch) 7. configure IPMI as modules, adding ipmi_smb 8. install ipmitool and openipmi (available in Debian etch) 9. run /usr/share/ipmitool/ipmi.init.basic to load modules and create the device node /dev/ipmi0 10. start /etc/init.d/ipmievd
I added /usr/share/ipmitool/ipmi.init.basic to /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh -- what's the proper way to do this in Debian? Sample commands: * ipmitool sdr * ipmitool chassis status * ipmitool fru * ipmitool mc * ipmitool mc info I'm a complete newbie with all this, but it obviously works! Thanks -- this is great!
