RE: [Vacm-develop] IPMI and 2.4 kernels

I believe that driver is not smp safe  and as such using the watchdog
functionality can cause spontaneous hardware watchdog resets..
undesirable enough? :)

Ok, so i found one in cvs for impitools.  But in
http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/1160/2001/5/0/5749716/

you say this patch causes "undesired behavior" , and that a new one is
in the works.  All the timestamps in the cvs patch are january 26, and
since your message is mid-may, i'm hoping there's a working patch
"somewhere" :>

if you could post that patch when you find it, that'd be great.  or
just clarify what "undesired behavior" means, and maybe i can live
with that :>
