This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed- artful' to 'verification-done-artful'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-artful' to 'verification-failed- artful'.
If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.

[Test Case] Reboot the system several times, each time verifying that /dev/ipmi0 is present and functional (e.g. using 'sudo ipmitool lan print'). *** Note that systems need to be running firmware 6.2 or greater *** [Regression Risk] All patches are clean cherry picks from upstream, restricted to a driver that is only used on this platform in Ubuntu (also used on some MIPS platforms, for which we have no port).
