Hi,

 

I had posted this topic to this list in the summer, although I wasn’t able pursue the suggestions until now. The problem is that when I include IPMI support into a 2.6.18 kernel (also the 2.6.17 series), the computer will become unresponsive within two minutes after booting. Nothing is written to the system logs or the console when this happens. I have no problems with the 2.6.18 kernel when it is compiled without IPMI.

 

When I first posted, it was suggested that I try the 2.6.9 kernel, which had been reported to work with IPMI support included on e326m’s. Unfortunately, there were changes to binutils in the Fedora Core 5 distribution, which we are using, which cannot compile earlier kernels, so this is not a practical solution for us.

 

Since I posted this issue, another user has contacted me with the same problem, so I believe this is not limited to our case.

 

Does anyone have further suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

 

Thank you,
