The order of discovery change is correct, too, I believe. I don't have a PPC platform (with OF, anyway) with IPMI, so I can't test that, either.

There's plenty of systems that only document this in SMBIOS tables, there's plenty of systems with broken ACPI, etc. So SMBIOS and SPMI are going to have to stay. -corey ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
