Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: openipmi
Ubuntu Version:
===========
kipp at dhcp57-92:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 9.04
Release: 9.04
openipmi package version:
===================
kipp at dhcp57-92:~$ sudo apt-cache policy openipmi
openipmi:
Installed: 2.0.14-2ubuntu1
Candidate: 2.0.14-2ubuntu1
Version table:
*** 2.0.14-2ubuntu1 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
What I expected to happen:
====================
I expected that when openipmi starts, it will load the ipmi_devinft module
What happened instead:
==================
I had to manually load the ipmi_devintf module
$sudo modprobe ipmi_devintf
Workaround:
=========
It seems that in the /etc/init.d/openipmi script will selectively load the ipmi_devintf module based on the value of the $DEV_IPMI. Upstream defines this value in /etc/sysconfig/ipmi. Ubuntu does not include this file.
It would probably make sense to define/set this variable in /etc/default/openipmi, and source that in
the initscript.
In the meantime, customers could probably just put DEV_IPMI="yes" at
the top of /etc/init.d/openipmi This will at least persist across reboots.
Thanks!
