Trusty 3.13.0-14-generic config shows IPMI_HANDLER option set to Y: CONFIG_ACPI_IPMI=m CONFIG_IPMI_HANDLER=y # CONFIG_IPMI_PANIC_EVENT is not set CONFIG_IPMI_DEVICE_INTERFACE=m CONFIG_IPMI_SI=m CONFIG_IPMI_WATCHDOG=m CONFIG_IPMI_POWEROFF=m
..with the 3.13.0-8 kernel it is set to "m", and this was the last kernel that I ran where openipmi didn't have issues Joseph's test kernel shows this and it works as expected with openipmi in that the service starts properly. IPMI_HANDLER is set to 'm': CONFIG_ACPI_IPMI=m CONFIG_IPMI_HANDLER=y # CONFIG_IPMI_PANIC_EVENT is not set CONFIG_IPMI_DEVICE_INTERFACE=m CONFIG_IPMI_SI=m CONFIG_IPMI_WATCHDOG=m CONFIG_IPMI_POWEROFF=m I will test rc1 tomorrow as I ran out of time today. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1284334 Title: (regression?) openipmi fails to start on kernels 3.13.0-11-generic and 3.13.0-12-generic Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: When updating 14.04 to 3.13.0-12 I noticed that the openipmi service failed to start on reboot. After running 'sudo service openipmi start', the service would still fail to start because it failed to load the ipmi modules. Kernel 3.13.0-8, which was previously on the system, works fine. I also updated to linux-image 3.14.0-031400rc4-generic from the mainline site and the openipmi service starts working again. Steps to reproduce: Install 14.04 server, amd64 version. Make sure kernel 3.13.0-11 or -12 are installed Install openipmi. Try to start the openipmi service (sudo service ipmi start) Actual results: openipmi fails to load the ipmi modules and the service fails to start Expected results: openipmi starts without problems. This is an important issue because tools like ipmitool and Dell's iDRAC service module for Ubuntu rely on a working openipmi in order to function properly. The 3.14 kernels seem to have a fix of some sort in them.
