Since I couldn't find anything about slave address in my vendor's docs, I tried with 0x20 address, but it seems that ipmi_si doesn't care about slave_addrs as a loading time parameter :(. I doublechecked openipmi documentation(IPMI.txt), but unfortunately I was not able to find the root of this issue. # modprobe ipmi_si slave_addrs=0x20 FATAL: Error inserting ipmi_si (/lib/modules/2.6.20/kernel/drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si.ko): No such device IPMI System Interface driver. ipmi_si: Trying SMBIOS-specified kcs state machine at i/o address 0x4e, slave address 0x0, irq 0 ipmi_si: Interface detection failed ipmi_si: Unable to find any System Interface(s) Cress, Andrew R wrote: > It looks like the DMI information has been falsified.
