I happen to have access to a Poweredge 1850. Using Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS (Dapper), the following workaround seems to work ( from http://www .debian-administration.org/articles/341#comment_5 ):
nano /usr/share/ipmitool/ipmi.init.basic The top section looks like this: # load the ipmi modules modprobe ipmi_msghandler modprobe ipmi_devintf if ! modprobe ipmi_kcs_drv ; then modprobe ipmi_si # try new module name fi This script check doesn't work, and throws an error that it can't load the KCS driver. Change it to: modprobe ipmi_msghandler modprobe ipmi_devintf modprobe ipmi_si # try new module name Save as: /usr/share/ipmitool/ipmi.init.debian I didn`t need to creat the device manually, though. Did you have to do that ? To start the OpenIPMI driver, do: /usr/share/ipmitool/ipmi.init.basic You can test the local (KCS) IPMI interface by issuing: ipmitool -I open channleinfo Although my LAN interface is configured, the following command failed for me: ipmitool -I lan -H HOST_IP_ADDRESS -U USERNAME -a channel info More information about setting up and using IPMI on Dell servers can be found at: http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/power/ps4q04-20040204-Murphy.pdf -- 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 Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
