problem with ipmi

[Lee, Raymond]

Hi,

I'm fairly new to FreeBSD, so please bear with me.  I've been having
problems getting ipmi to start on one of our FreeBSD servers.  The
server is a SunFire X2100 running FreeBSD 7.0.  Here's what I've tried:


[root@~]# uname -a
FreeBSD svl-dns2-01.inet.qwest.net 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #1:
Wed Mar  5 05:37:47 UTC 2008
root at bsdjump.oss.uswest.net:/usr/obj/amd64/build/tmp/src/sys/GENERIC
amd64



[root@~]# ls -l /boot/kernel/ipmi*
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   57408 Mar  5 06:14 /boot/kernel/ipmi.ko
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  345880 Mar  5 06:14
/boot/kernel/ipmi.ko.symbols



[root@~]# kldload -v /boot/kernel/ipmi.ko
Loaded /boot/kernel/ipmi.ko, id=7



[root@~]# kldstat
Id Refs Address            Size     Name
 1    7 0xffffffff80100000 ac6ea8   kernel
 2    1 0xffffffff80bc7000 205f8    geom_mirror.ko
 4    2 0xffffffff80bf8000 24c0     smbus.ko
 5    1 0xffffffff938ef000 972      pflog.ko
 6    1 0xffffffff938f0000 2aadc    pf.ko
 7    1 0xffffffff93a29000 6b82     ipmi.ko



[root@~]# ls -l /dev/ipmi*
ls: /dev/ipmi*: No such file or directory



[root@~]# dmesg
<snip>
ipmi0: <IPMI System Interface> on isa0
ipmi0: KCS mode found at io 0xca2 alignment 0x1 on isa
ipmi0: couldn't find it
device_attach: ipmi0 attach returned 6
ppc0: cannot reserve I/O port range
sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0
sio1: port may not be enabled



I also tried rebooting after making sure my /boot/loader.conf looks ok,
but it still didn't work.

[root@~]# cat /boot/loader.conf 
hint.sio.0.flags="0x10"
boot_multicons="YES"
console="comconsole,vidconsole"
ipmi_load="YES"
geom_mirror_load="YES"



On other servers of the same hardware & OS, this has worked for me.
/dev/ipmi0 was created, and I could install and run ipmitool.  



Any ideas?


Thanks,
Ray
