freebsd stable - Aug 2007 - IPMI & SuperMicro

Hi everyone,

I would like to know if anyone using freebsd (6) has some feedback for
the port sysutils/ipmi-kmod. If yes, is it OK ? I plan to deploy IPMI on
some of my servers.

Thanks for reading

Nico.

Hi,
>From 6.2 it's part of the main kernel. As I know IPMI works fine on
X2100M2 machines. On these you've to forget the ipmi console, because once
bge(4) loads it blocks the bridge that the ipmi uses for remote console.
There was a patch for an older bge(4) driver, but on the 6.2 i couldn't
patch the driver. (I looked the source, but the two was too different, and
since I'm not a C programmer I couldn't manage to port.)

When you load ipmi(4) with kldload there may be a some second pause, but
don't panic then, that's no freeze. :)

Regards,
Andras
