You have been subscribed to a public bug by Nick Barcet (nijaba): The ipmitool package requires kernel modules to work. These are available in the Ubuntu/Debian kernel..
./kernel/drivers/char/ipmi ./kernel/drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.ko ./kernel/drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_devintf.ko ./kernel/drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_poweroff.ko ./kernel/drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si.ko ./kernel/drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_watchdog.ko The ipmitool uses the device - '/dev/ipmi0' - this currently needs to manually created, by hand. The 'ipmievd.init.basic' script supplied with the package does not work, and gives the following errors: ----- Setting up OpenIPMI driver... FATAL: Module ipmi_kcs_drv not found. FATAL: Error inserting ipmi_si (/lib/modules/2.6.20-14-generic/kernel/drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si.ko): No such device ------ ** Affects: ipmitool (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Incomplete -- ipmi modules need to manually inserted and device created https://bugs.edge.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
