ipmi_si will not load, Debian Squeeze
I've run through sensors detect....
Code:
root@abacus:~# sensors-detect Code:
root@abacus:~# dmesg |grep -i ipmi Code:
root@abacus:~# modprobe ipmi_si Advice? Thanks. |
Anyone? I'm not getting a listing for /dev/imb but the documentation for my Intel motherboard says it is IPMI v1.5 compliant.
|
I've been searching for answers everywhere, but I still can't come up with a solution. All my documentation says my mobo is v1.5 compliant at a minimum, dmesg even says thermal monitoring is present, but I can seem to get anything to work detecting it.

I've downloaded the source code from the Intel website... http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Deta...=ipmi&lang=eng but I'm running into issues compiling it. It requires the linux_source and linux_headers which I have installed. First I was getting the "Missing version.h file" warning, now after installing the headers I'me getting "Missing config.h file" warning. I did some searching and Debian doesn't use config.h files. I also couldn't find any references to it in the source code. The included build script also wants to create an RPM package but being a Debian Squeeze system (2.6.32)I don't have/use RPMs. If someone could take a look at the source code and help me figure out what I need to make it work on my system, I'd really appreciate it. My SE7520 Chipset is listed as compatible in the changelog. Right now I have no system monitoring.
(At one point in time I did try installing RHEL but that actually ran worse - slower - on the system and IPMI wasn't working on it either.) Thanks. |
A couple of comments.

I'm not quite catching what you are throwing.:scratch: IPMI is not loading at all. I have the packages above installed, but they aren't talking to my hardware. I was trying to compile Intel's Linux driver for use on my system. I should have an /dev/imb, /dev/ipmi* etc loaded, but I don't. I need to get that working before I can get anything else to work. (don't I?)

Still can't seem to get it working.

Hi mpyusko,
I have stumbled upon your question while trying to get some sensor information out of my Fujitsu-Siemens Primergy RX200-S1 (Old piece of junk) that has IPMI 1.5 but is nowhere supported by neither of OpenIPMI or FreeIPMI(latest version 1.1.2). For many reasons: 1) Its old hardware 2) Its BUGGY/PROPERTARY OEM implimentation of IPMI 1.5 standard Cuz, I got the IPMI modules loaded and managed to see some info from my hardware but the BMC version, GUID information and all the sensor information is returning garbage (zeros, n/a, n/s <-whatever this means)... If I could just find the specs for Fujitsu's implementation I would extend FreeIPMI to support my server, but I couldn't... So, I will just give up on finding how hot my processors are running since I don't have the time to research it anymore and probably won't find any documention on the actual implementation of the IPMI on this particular motherboard. If anyone has some information on how to read the sensor information on this particular hardware I will be more than happy to listen to what you have to say. However, mpyusko, for your problem I can give you my 2cents : I see you are running the 64 bit version of the OS, that's probably the reason. The kernel module is not compiled for 64bits! Is see that you have the i2c module loaded, as seen in your first post. Quote:
So you can have a look at FreeIPMI (if you haven't allready) http://www.gnu.org/software/freeipmi/documentation.html Maybe you can put more details of your harwdare... And I can have a peek for you! Hope for the best! PS: I might give it a go, for my Primergy Server... I plan on extracting everybit of life out of it! |
I have solved the problem on my Fujitsu-Siemens PRIMERGY RX200-S1 Server!
I found the solution on the freeipmi mailing list, here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/fr.../msg00027.html I can read the sensor values with a command like this: Quote:

Hello,
I have the same problems, did you fix it? Any help? Quote:

What I found out is the computer needs an add-in board (IMM) that contains the IPMI interfacing components. Apparently the BIOS is IPMI compatible, leaving the necessary channels open should the board be installed. Without it, IPMI will not load.
