The device looks correct:
# ls -l /dev/ipmi*
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 254, 0 2008-02-19 11:59 /dev/ipmi0
the major node looks correct as well:
# cat /proc/devices | grep ipmi
254 ipmidev
the kernel modules appear to be loaded:
# lsmod | grep ipmi
ipmi_watchdog 20156 0
ipmi_devintf
You DO need the 'si' driver (as least I do).

This might be an issue with needing to specify specific memory
locations for your specific BMC. Try unloading ALL IPMI kernel modules
and then run this script but you'll need to research and specify the
right memory regions:

Check dmidecode to see if it puts out a type 38 (IPMI) record.
If so, the Base Address should be listed there.
