Folks, I have become aware of a fork in the OpenIPMI driver development stream.
Besides the ongoing Linux 2.6 and 2.4 drivers shepherded by Corey Minyard, HP has a private version with some useful enhancements including stability fixes and support for fully interrupt-driven PCI BMC cards, and for IPMI 2.0 OEM Channels & OEM Messages. HP apparently feel these changes are too big to be accepted by Corey & the development community. I hope this perception is wrong and their changes can in fact be reconciled into the mainline OpenIPMI drivers. HP, please offer your changes for Corey's examination; Corey, please consider them for inclusion. My own need is for a Linux 2.4 version of a merged driver, and I know that's unlikely even if a merge happens at the 2.6 level. I wish to speak in support of any merging that might happen, whether or not a 2.4 merge happens. (Yet I also greatly encourage the 2.4 merge ;-) Thanks, >Bela< ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
