Note that this was against 2.6.11-rc2 and you need the completion patch posted by Mike Waychison at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=110669761400454&w=2 or the completion_timeout routine is broken. > > p.s.

After playing with it a while, I discovered that the i801 SMB interface is very sensitive to doing things just right. But I think I have everything working correctly with the posted patches, it ran for a whole day without a single error. -Corey > > mds > > > Chan Min Wai wrote: > >> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- >> Hash: SHA1 >> >> However There is still one things is missing... >> >> Driver for the "IPMI" Device in kernel... >> Without that there is no way for us to even touch the ipmi chip in the >> board. >> >> Regards, >> Chan Min Wai >> >> Ilia Stolov wrote: >> >>> The Host interface of PC87431 is IPMI 1.5/2.0 SSIF - the new host >>> interface introduced in IPMI 2.0 spec.
