We experiencing some difficulties in getting IPMI to work on RHEL 6
running as Guest using KVM. We have verified that IPMI
works on RHEL 6 if installed on bare metal.
Is this a known issue? Can anyone please suggest a fix or work-around for this problem?

RHEL 6 as guest os with kvm on RHEL 6 as host os -- doesn't work
RHEL 6 (client) on bare metal (i.e., the above mentioned host os)-- works
Below is the the output of the command (just an indication that it failed) and relevant part of dmesg .
# service ipmi start

# dmesg | tail -12
