Whenever I get an error on loading the ipmi_si module, it means my ipmi card is dead and needs to be replaced. Kind of a PITA. I would check to see if the IPMI is working over the network. If not, then probably a dead card. mike _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Hello, thanks mike, u gave me the idea to have a closer look on the hardware and found http://1mum.geek-tools.org/2008/12/01/serverloft-pros-and-cons/ A feature that Hetzner doesn’t have is the IPMI Access interface so you may find this useful at Serverloft It can''t work :-) Might be interesting for Hetzner''s customers.
