[Bug 110992] Re: ipmi modules need to manually inserted and device created
I have opened a new bug report which is basically the same as the current, which still happens on Lucid: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ipmitool/+bug/908112 But I am not able (Or I don't know how) to attach it to a specific ubuntu distribution release. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/110992 Title: ipmi modules need to manually inserted and device created To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ipmitool/+bug/110992/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

[Bug 110992] Re: ipmi modules need to manually inserted and device created
Ok... so further investigation: Fresh Natty install on an IBM server with BMC using the latest ISOs as of 8 March. Looking in /lib/modules/2.6.38-5-generic/kernel/drivers/char/ipmi/ shows that the drivers are present. No IPMI packages are installed: First I install ipmitool: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install ipmitool Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...

Unable to start ipmievd during installation. Trying to disable. Also note that installing ipmitool does not install any other packages at all. These errors happened because /dev/ipmi0 is not created... that requires ipmi_devmntf to be loaded. One would think that since I just installed ipmitool, which includes ipmievd to pass BMC messages on to syslog, that as soon as I reboot, the modules would be loaded, /dev/ipmi0 would be created and everthing would be copacetic. So after installing ipmitool and verifying that ipmievd was not running, /dev/ipmi0 was not there, and the modules were not loaded, I rebooted the server to see what would happen. ipmi modules are NOT loaded, ipmievd is not started, and /dev/ipmi0 is not created, thus, nothing.

Also, by pulling in openipmi I mean that perhaps the control file for the ipmitool package could change from suggesting openipmi to recommending openipmi -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is a direct subscriber. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/110992 Title: ipmi modules need to manually inserted and device created -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

[Bug 110992] Re: ipmi modules need to manually inserted and device created
On my lucid install ipmi_si seems to autoload, but ipmi_devintf doesn't. Loading ipmi_devintf is enough to have /dev/ipmi0 created and ipmitool then works. -- ipmi modules need to manually inserted and device created https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/110992 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is a direct subscriber. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

One would imagine that this bug could have been fixed any time in the last couple of years. It would require editing a couple of files on the part of one of the maintainers.
