Hey Juerg, OK, I also loaded ipmi_msghandler as I was not loading it before. I am not loading these modules in my rc.local file: i2c-piix4 i2c-ipmi eeprom ipmisensors ipmi_msghandler hwmon in that order. Looking at /sys/classes, it is empty. When I manually load the modules, via rmmod & modprobe, and look at /var/log/messages the only entries are: May 31 15:01:26 smaug kernel: ipmi message handler version 39.1 May 31 15:01:26 smaug kernel: ipmisensors - IPMI BMC sensors interface As I said before I am using 2.6.21 patched with the experimential ipmi patch. Juerg what kernel are you using and do you also have a SRSH4 based system? Any other pointers are things to try? Thanks, Keith > >Keith, > >Make sure you have the ipmisensors and ipmi_msghandler modules >installed.
