A guide to install IPMI smb driver on Chesnee
Author: Liang, Daming
Environment:
Platform: Chesnee (with Intel mBMC)
OS: RHEL40u1
Kernel: Standard Kernel 2.6.10
Patch:
linux-ipmi-2.6.10-smb.diff,
linux-ipmi-2.6.10-base.diff,
linux-i2c-2.6.10-nonblock.diff,
linux-i2c-2.6.10-i801_nonblock.diff
Step:
Install OS on Chesnee machine
/*Note: Because the Chesnee use SCSI disk, you must not use Auto partition
during system isntall procedure. You must use manual partition.*/
Download kernel from yoda:/kernel.
mount yoda:/kernel /mnt
cd mnt
cd v2.6
cp linux-2.6.10.tar.gz /usr/src/
Download patch from SourceForge OpenIPMI to /usr/src
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=36127&package_id=110139&release_id=305484
linux-ipmi-2.6.10-smb.diff,
linux-ipmi-2.6.10-base.diff,
linux-i2c-2.6.10-nonblock.diff,
linux-i2c-2.6.10-i801_nonblock.diff
Extract the kernel file
tar xzvf linux-2.6.10.tar.gz
Apply patch
patch -p0 < linux-ipmi-2.6.10-base.diff
patch -p0 < linux-ipmi-2.6.10-smb.diff
patch -p0 < linux-i2c-2.6.10-nonblock.diff
patch -p0 < linux-i2c-2.6.10-i801_nonblock.diff
Build kernel
cd linux-2.6.10
/*Copy a correct config file to linux-2.6.10.tar.gz */
cp xxx.config /usr/src/ linux-2.6.10
/*or you can make menuconfig , if you know how to configure it
correctly*/
make oldconfig /*Note: make sure ipmi smb moduel is selected*/
make -j4
make modules_install
make install
Reboot the system
/*Set the grub.conf on /boot/grub/grub.conf
Modify the default field value to 0, let it point to the newly built
kernel */
reboot
/*If you can enter the system, then congratulation.
If you meet a kernel panic, then check whether it is a config file problem and
have to rebuild the kernel*/
Check Modules
cd /lib/modules/2.6.10y/kernel/drivers/char/ipmi/
ls
/*Check modules: ipmi_devintf.ko ipmi_si.ko ipmi_watchdog.ko
ipmi_msghandler.ko ipmi_smb.ko are exist*/
Run ipmi device script:
./ipmi.sh stop
./ipmi.sh start
The script is like the following:
#!/bin/bash
case "$1" in
start)
# make sure the module is loaded
# (modprobe will not re-load if already loaded)
/sbin/modprobe ipmi_msghandler
/sbin/modprobe ipmi_devintf
/sbin/modprobe ipmi_smb addr=0,0x42
/sbin/modprobe ipmi_watchdog
grep ipmidev /proc/devices
if [ $? != 0 ]; then
echo "No IPMI device existed\n"
exit 1;
fi
rm -f /dev/ipmi0
mknod /dev/ipmi0 c `grep ipmidev /proc/devices | awk "{print \\$1}"` 0
# set permissions
chgrp root /dev/ipmi0
chmod 644 /dev/ipmi0
;;
stop)
# Unload the ipmi driver
/sbin/modprobe -r ipmi_devintf
/sbin/modprobe -r ipmi_watchdog
/sbin/modprobe -r ipmi_smb
/sbin/modprobe -r ipmi_msghandler
# remove device nodes
rm -f /dev/ipmi0
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
exit 1
esac
/*Note : You can use dmidecode |grep I2C to check the I2C slave address*/
dmidecode| grep I2C
I2C Slave Address: 0x42
The smb interface use 0x42 for I2C address. See:
/sbin/modprobe ipmi_smb addr=0,0x42
Install IPMI Util to check whether smb driver is well install
Downlaod IPMI Util package from yoda, ipmiutil-1.6.2-1.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh ipmiutil-1.6.2-1.i386.rpm
Type sensor , if the installation is correct, the response are:
sensor: version 1.32
-- mBMC version 2.39, IPMI version 1.5

Have you loaded the i2c-i801 module?
