[Bug 110992] [NEW] ipmi modules need to manually inserted and device created

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Nick Barcet (nijaba):

The ipmitool package requires kernel modules to work. These are
available in the Ubuntu/Debian kernel..

  ./kernel/drivers/char/ipmi
  ./kernel/drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.ko
  ./kernel/drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_devintf.ko
  ./kernel/drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_poweroff.ko
  ./kernel/drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si.ko
  ./kernel/drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_watchdog.ko

The ipmitool uses the device - '/dev/ipmi0' - this currently needs to
manually created, by hand.

The 'ipmievd.init.basic' script supplied with the package does not work, and gives the following
errors:
-----
Setting up OpenIPMI driver...
FATAL: Module ipmi_kcs_drv not found.
FATAL: Error inserting ipmi_si (/lib/modules/2.6.20-14-generic/kernel/drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si.ko): No such device
------

** Affects: ipmitool (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Incomplete
