Marco,
I haven't tested the panicsel IPMI utilities on those architectures,
because I don't have hardware for them, but it should work, if the
platforms support IPMI. =20
There isn't any kernel dependency, other than having an IPMI driver, and
kernel 2.6.4 has the OpenIPMI driver included, so that should work fine.
I have tested it on earlier versions of 2.5 and 2.6 and it worked ok.
The /dev/ipmi0 device node will have to be created though, after the
modules are loaded, like this:
maj=3D`cat /proc/devices |awk '/ipmidev/{print $1}'`
/bin/mknod /dev/ipmi0 $maj 0 =20

Subject: Two questions about Panicsel-IPMI portability
Dear Mr. Andy Cress,
I'm interested in Panicsel-IPMI Open Source Project.
I've a question about the architecture portability of Panicsel-IPMI
1.4.3: does it run on the PowerPc architecture, Motorola PQII-MPC8280
processor ?
And another question about the Linux kernel portability of Panicsel-IPMI
1.4.3: does it run on Vanilla 2.6.4 kernel ?
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Marco Caverzaghi
