Undesirable behavior how? System crashes, random scribblings on kernel memory, or just a lack of IPMI support? I'm not doubting your conclusions, but I'm curious why this is a problem now when we've had the drivers set as modules for 2 years. I can't recall any major problems. josh _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kernel
