Ooops, indeed, sorry for that :-)

That leaves, at least, two possibilities 1) the BMC is flaky (power cycle 
machine or maybe even replace the BMC) 2) kernel driver messed up.

If it's the driver then, assuming you havn't already, try to unload the ipmi 
stuff. Essentially "lsmod | grep ipmi" and the rmmod those. A "service ipmi 
restart" should probably automate this for you.

Since you're focusing on the "in system" approach I assume you lack an 
ethernet connection to the BMC? ...if not try to reach it that way.
