I've posted new builds of the OpenIPMI device drivers, in DKMS format,
for 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:
* Requires DKMS 2.0.10 (included in the tarballs above) for RHEL3 and
RHEL4.
* Requires binutils for RHEL3 and RHEL4.
* Implements module version checking for RHEL3 and RHEL4, and won't
install if it detects you're trying to install an older module into a
kernel with a newer module. Use dkms install --force to override
this check to downgrade the driver.
* Fixes the builds for SLES9 Gold and SP1, which previously would't
modprobe properly due to kthread_*() functions not being exported to
modules in those kernels.
* Adds prebuilt modules for RHEL3 U6 and SLES9 SP3.
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
2.4.21-37 i686
2.4.21-37smp i686
2.4.21-37hugemem i686
2.4.21-37 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
2.6.5-7.244-default x86_64
2.6.5-7.244-smp x86_64
These represent the "Gold" and Update 6 releases of RHEL3 for these
architectures, "Gold" for RHEL4, and "Gold" and Service Pack 1, 2, and
3 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.
