Hi,

since updating to kernel 3.19.x, the kernel log is spammed with the following 
line : 

[56699.040679] ipmi_si 00:06: Could not set the global enables: 0xcc.
[56700.066401] ipmi_si 00:06: Could not set the global enables: 0xcc.
[56701.081354] ipmi_si 00:06: Could not set the global enables: 0xcc.

It appears once per second. IPMI functionality doesn't seems to be affected. 
Here's the info from ipmitool mc info : 

Device ID                 : 32
Device Revision           : 1
Firmware Revision         : 1.76
IPMI Version              : 2.0
Manufacturer ID           : 10876
Manufacturer Name         : Supermicro
Product ID                : 2067 (0x0813)
Product Name              : Unknown (0x813)
Device Available          : yes
Provides Device SDRs      : no
Additional Device Support :
    Sensor Device
    SDR Repository Device
    SEL Device
    FRU Inventory Device
    IPMB Event Receiver
    IPMB Event Generator
    Chassis Device

The board is a Supermicro A1SRi, latest BIOS and IPMI Firmware. 

Here are the IPMI-related options from .config file : 

CONFIG_ACPI_IPMI=y
CONFIG_IPMI_HANDLER=y
CONFIG_IPMI_PANIC_EVENT=y
# CONFIG_IPMI_PANIC_STRING is not set
CONFIG_IPMI_DEVICE_INTERFACE=m
CONFIG_IPMI_SI=y
CONFIG_IPMI_SI_PROBE_DEFAULTS=y
CONFIG_IPMI_SSIF=m
CONFIG_IPMI_WATCHDOG=y
CONFIG_IPMI_POWEROFF=y

The config wasn't changed while updating from 3.18.x to 3.19.x. 

The dmesg output of the IPMI init is here :

I had never any problems with the board and Linux IPMI. I've tested it with 
3.18.9 and 3.19.0 and 3.19.1. 

Thank you,

 Arne
