I got the following build error in 2.6.0-test2:

drivers/built-in.o(.init.text+0xdff5): In function `init_ipmi_kcs':
: undefined reference to `acpi_find_bmc'

acpi_find_bmc is only available #ifdef CONFIG_ACPI_INTERPRETER.
The following patch fixes it (the same problem does exist in
2.4.22-pre8, the patch applies with a few lines offset):
