BTW, can you send me at least the IPMI portion of the output of
dmidecode for your machine? I have seen a lot of these where the
address in the SMBIOS tables is incorrect, and I'm wondering if
it's something in the driver, or if it's really the tables that
are bad.

Thanks a bunch. It looks like the SMBIOS tables are wrong. I
wonder if this is what some vendor do if there is no IPMI device
installed. I guess I need to add a check for this.
Another machine (Sun X2100) with similar crash is also cured by the
patch, but this is slightly different (not NULL):

That's even worse. The SMBIOS table says the interface is there, but
it's not
there. Not much I can do about that :(.
Thanks again,
