Hey Jarrad, First, I'd recommend upgrading to FreeIPMI 0.6.9. There's been a lot of fixes since then for a variety of things.

If you could run with --debug, it could get us a clue. There should be data within the directory ~/.freeipmi/sdr-cache/ after the first execution of ipmi-sensors. The filename should be in the format sdr-cache-<hostyouareon>.<hostyouarereadingfrom>. If a file isn't being created, it's probably an error reading the SDR cache from the remote system (which I can get an idea on the error w/ --debug output). Or possibly an error on the creation of the directory/reading from the directory. Are all the permissions for the directories fine? It's possible I have a corner case somewhere in that code that made incorrect assumptions on creation bitmasks. > The servers only support ipmi 1.5 and I'm having > trouble working out how/if freeipmi supports SoL for v1.5. > Ipmiconsole only seems to support v2.0. I'm afraid you're a bit out of luck on this part for FreeIPMI. The IPMI 1.5 standard actually does not include SOL. Several vendors implemented their own protocol for SOL into IPMI 1.5. So you pretty much have to use the vendor software to use SOL w/ IPMI 1.5 b/c the protocol isn't known. The project 'ipmitool' did reverse engineer a few IPMI 1.5 SOL implementations. I have no idea how well they reverse engineered it, but you may want to give it a shot (assuming you're lucky enough to have a motherboard that has been reverse engineered already). Hope that helps, Al On Wed, 2008-10-08 at 14:20 +1100, Jarrad - ElysiumTech.com.au wrote: > Hi List, > > Just joined up as I'm trying to get a bunch of servers set up using > Serial over Lan.
