This error doesn't point to a kernel version being too old (that would be a timeout) unless it is really old. It may be that the driver is unable to find the channel due to it not being reported properly when getting the channel info. Also, IIRC, the WRS kernel has some type of virtual IPMI driver, are you sure you are getting the right device? -corey ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
