I've posted new builds of the OpenIPMI device drivers, in DKMS format,
for RHEL3, RHEL4, and SLES9 here: http://linux.dell.com/files/openipmi

Standard disclaimer applies. This is for testing purposes, not for
production use (yet).
This package contains two componenents:
* DKMS (Dynamic Kernel Module Support) - the framework into which
device drivers are built and installed.
* openipmi - OpenIPMI device driver.
These provide an update to the existing OpenIPMI drivers as packaged
with RHEL and SLES to add new functionality:
* New capability: powercycle the system rather than power-off (load
time and runtime tunable).
* Support for using 32-bit userspace libraries while running on a
64-bit x86_64/ia32e kernel, needed by the Dell OpenManage software
suite.
Changes since last posting:
* Upgrade to DKMS 2.0.7. This fixes the need to be root when doing
'ldtarball', and adds support for VMware ESX 'vmnix' kernel names.
* Properly exit the ipmi kernel thread, so rmmod doesn't fail. This
matches what is in the kernel.org -mm tree as of yesterday.
Prebuilt modules for the following kernels/architectures are included:
RHEL3:
2.4.21-4.EL i686
2.4.21-4.ELsmp i686
2.4.21-4.ELhugemem i686
2.4.21-15.EL ia32e
RHEL4:
2.6.9-5.EL i686
2.6.9-5.ELsmp i686
2.6.9-5.ELhugemem i686
2.6.9-5.EL x86_64
2.6.9-5.ELsmp x86_64
SLES9:
2.6.5-7.97-default x86_64
2.6.5-7.97-smp x86_64
2.6.5-7.139-default x86_64
2.6.5-7.139-smp x86_64
2.6.5-7.191-default x86_64
2.6.5-7.191-smp x86_64
These represent the "Gold" releases of RHEL3 and 4 for these
architectures, and "Gold" and Service Pack 1 and Service Pack 2 for
SLES9. If your system is running other kernel variants, and you have
the the kernel development tools installed, DKMS can be used to
rebuild these modules for your kernel. See the README.dkms file for
more details.
This bundle may be installed using the shell script install.sh
provided.
