Hey Mark, Thanks very much for the info. I was trying to locate this driver for a while without any success. At least I tried to look at OpenSolaris code but I couldn't find any. I have some code which uses the IPMI virtual channel to talk to the SP and this code is hooked with Linux ipmi serial code. So when ipmi serial code is trying to determine if there is usable serial interface to the IPMC it will use the virtual channel and send Get Dev ID command through it. I traced this command on the Service Processor and this works fine. The thing which doesn't work is that I don't get any reply. I played with ipmitool command on the SP and I wasn't being able to use anonymous account. I need to supply proper credentials to get the tool working. Maybe this is a case only with Monza board I have available, but I would like to be more generic in my code.
