On modprobing the ipmi_si the terminal hang and the process cannot be terminated by control-C. We got these messages in dmesg ipmi message handler version 39.1 IPMI System Interface driver. ipmi_si: Trying SMBIOS-specified bt state machine at i/o address 0xe4, slave address 0x20, irq 10 Using irq 10 IPMI BT: req2rsp=10 secs retries=3 ipmi_si: Error clearing flags: c6 We have tested a few other dell machine (Power Edge 2500, 2900, ....), and this problem only occurs in Power Edge 2600. The problem occurs in the following testes Debian testing lenny Ubuntu 7.10 Ubuntu 7.04 Fedore 8 Kernel 2.6.20 Kernel 2.6.21 Kernel 2.6.22 Kernel 2.6.22.5 Kernel 2.6.22.14 Kernel 2.6.22.15 Kernel 2.6.23.12 While in the following testes we can successfully modprobe the ipmi_si Ubuntu 6.10 Debian 4.0r2 Kernel 2.6.18.3 Kernel 2.6.18.5 Kernel 2.6.18.8 Kernel 2.6.19 Kernel 2.6.19.7 It looks like the problem only occurs when using kernel after 2.6.20 with Power Edge 2600. Anyone know the reason for that? Any additional information should I provide?
