Hello All,
  I am having a bit of trouble and am wondering if someone on this list
has the right context to help me out. 

What I am using:
  I have the source from IPMI 1.8.9 and am running a 2.6.21 based
kernel. Not up to date but no too old.  I don't consider my self an
expert in IPMI.  ipmitool in general is working just fine with my BMC.  

My problem:
  I am sending events to the sel via the "ipmitool event" command.  When
I dump the command I see: 
<snip> 
 Generator ID          : 0020
<snip?

I need a different Generator ID (0x41/0x21 software generated event) for
the event to be processed properly in my environment.  IPMI table 5-4
talks about generator IDs.   

I went looking into the ipmitool code and saw that the generator id was
always being set to 2 (little confused as to if 2 or 0020 is even the
right value).  I hacked in a few different numbers (in the 2 spots in
lib/ipmi_event.c) but it did not matter what I did, my events always
land in the sel with 0020 generator id. 

I am headed into the tool and kernel farther to see if can sort out what
is going on.  Just wondering if anyone out there had any context that
could help out.
