We have a "spare" machine (it is a hot-backup of a production machine) I 
can test stuff on occasionally, if you got something specific.

I managed to dig out the output from a working and non-working BIOS/IPMI:

BIOS A02 (working):
ipmi0: <System Management BIOS> at iomem 0xfa840-0xfa85e,0xfa860-0xfb357 
o n isa0
ipmi0: SMBIOS Version: 2.03, revision: 2.03
ipmi0: KCS mode found at io 0xca8 alignment 0x4 on isa
ipmi0: IPMI device rev. 0, firmware rev. 1.81, version 1.5
ipmi0: Number of channels 4
ipmi0: Attached watchdog

BIOS A03 (not working):
ipmi0: <System Management BIOS> at iomem 0xfa830-0xfa84e,0xfa850-0xfb356 
o n isa0
ipmi0: SMBIOS Version: 2.03, revision: 2.03
ipmi0: KCS mode found at io 0xca8 alignment 0x4 on isa
ipmi0: couldn't configure smbios io res

I don't know if the IPMI-stuff actually moved or not in the BIOS, but 
the memory ranges differ.
