[Ipmitool-devel] RE: [Openipmi-developer] Re: Not Getting ipmi values for 2.4.21 kernel

[Deepa C A <de...@hc...>]

Dear all,

   First of all, let me thank u. It really helped us. We have succedded
in applying ur patch and we got the values correctly.
   After inserting ipmi_smb_intf, dmesg showed :

ipmi message handler version v30
ipmi device interface version v30
IPMI SMB Interface driver version v30
i2c-core.o: driver IPMI registered.
smb_attach_adapter: probing i2c addr 42
i2c-core.o: client [IPMI] registered to adapter [SMBus I801 adapter at
0540](pos. 0).
ipmi_smb: Error clearing flags: 80
smb_smbus_read_block_data failed: -1

 What does the last 2 lines mean actually? 

Thanks & Regards,
Deepa
