CONFIG_IPMI_HANDLER=m # CONFIG_IPMI_PANIC_EVENT is not set CONFIG_IPMI_DEVICE_INTERFACE=m CONFIG_IPMI_SI=m CONFIG_IPMI_WATCHDOG=m CONFIG_IPMI_POWEROFF=m IPMI is an interface to "baseboard controllers": you can switch a box on/off, query sensors readings & events, and even run serial over LAN (some have real VGA over HTTP/Java). Very nice to have if you have to set up a big cluster and find out why a certain machine is misbehaving. "ipmitool" is the corresponding userspace utility. > Actually it would help me, if you would file seperate bugs yourself. *You* > know how to do that ;) And isn't it nicer to share the work?
