Hi, After using the ipmi module from -stable (or the port in most cases...) on a couple of PowerEdge 1850's from Dell, I tried the same on the bigger 2850... unfortunally, it fails. I updated the source-tree today, and tried both SMP and GENERIC kernel. On the 1850 I get: ipmi0: <System Management BIOS> at iomem 0xf9900-0xf991e,0xf9920-0xfa5ba on isa0 ipmi0: SMBIOS Version: 2.03, revision: 2.03 ipmi0: KCS mode found at io 0xca8 alignment 0x4 on isa ipmi0: IPMI device rev. 0, firmware rev. 1.81, version 1.5 ipmi0: Number of channels 4 ipmi0: Attached watchdog The 2850 gives me: ipmi0: <System Management BIOS> at iomem 0xf9900-0xf991e,0xf9920-0xfa5bf on isa0 ipmi0: SMBIOS Version: 2.03, revision: 2.03 ipmi0: KCS mode found at io 0xca8 alignment 0x4 on isa ipmi0: couldn't configure smbios io res But more scary, as soon as I unload the module (since it has no use anyway ;-)) the kernel panics. Unloading ipmi from the 1850 works just fine. Did anyone else stumble upon this issue? Any clues to debug? (I have a kgdb output included below, but I'm afraid it lacks some detail.) Unfortunally I only have this 2850 to test on (and I'm not sure how long I can keep testing ;-)) - I tried multiple 1850's where things work as expected. (Really happy with IPMI support there :-)) Paul # kgdb /boot/kernel/kernel vmcore.3 [GDB will not be able to debug user-mode threads: /usr/lib/libthread_db.so: Undefined symbol "ps_pglobal_lookup"] GNU gdb 6.1.1 [FreeBSD] Copyright 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
