FreeBSD Port: ipmi-kmod-20060418_1

[Michael Graziano]

I believe our 2950 is BIOS Rev. A03 as well, I'll reboot it tomorrow  
if I have a chance and get the Dell version ID.

dmesg-wise, my first iomem range is the same as for A02, but my  
second is not.  I'm leaning toward the explanation that Dell moved  
something on us and done went and broke the module :-/

ipmi0: <System Management BIOS> at iomem 0xfd040-0xfd05e, 
0xcffbc000-0xcffbcc3a on isa0
ipmi0: SMBIOS Version: 2.04, revision: 2.04
ipmi0: KCS mode found at io 0xca8 alignment 0x4 on isa
ipmi0: couldn't configure smbios io res

In case it proves helpful
