RE: [Openipmi-developer] Fail to load ipmi kcs driver on em64t platform

[Chen, Y. <yuk...@in...>]

It seems there is no IPMI KCS port on EM64T platform.
Thanx anyway

Yukun,

Since it is EM64T, I would guess that the KCS port would be at 0x8a2 =
rather than 0xca2.
The syntax would be "modprobe ipmi_si type=3Dkcs ports=3D0x8a2".
The platform spec (EPS/TPS) for the system should also have the IPMI KCS =
port.

Do you have CONFIG_ACPI_INTERPRETER enabled?  Also, you should be using=20
ipmi_si_drv, not ipmi_kcs_drv.  The SI driver can use ACPI and SMBIOS to =

find the address of the device, and the BIOS *should* put that=20
information there.

You should also be using the most current version of the driver, from=20
http://openipmi.sf.net.  The SI driver may not be available on SLES 9.

If you can't change the kernel, you need to find the address of the KCS=20
device on your system and put it in by hand when you load the driver.
