Hi Corey, Thanks so much for the support. I pulled down the 2.2-ipmi stable snapshot and everything compiled with no issues.
Could you help confirm my configuration? I ran lanserv with the serial parameter to create the socket that will communicate with the QEMU IPMI device over port 9002: Host lanserv config: addr :: 623 # Define a serial VM inteface for channel 15 (the system interface) on # port 9002, just available to the local system (localhost). serial bt localhost 9002 codec VM ipmb 0x20 # startcmd is what to execute to start a VM associated with the # codec above (localhost 9002). It also starts a console serial port # on port 9003 that is also used as the monitor interface. startcmd "qemu-system-x86_64 -vnc :1 --enable-kvm -chardev socket,id=ipmi0,host=localhost,port=9002,reconnect=10 -device isa-ipmi,chardev=ipmi0,interface=bt,irq=5 -device e1000,netdev=net0,mac=${VNETMAC} -netdev tap,id=net0 -device ich9-usb-ehci1 -daemonize -serial mon:tcp::9003,server,telnet,nowait -m ${VMEM} -smp ${VSMP} ${STARTCMD_OPTS}" # Start startcmd at startup? Default is false. startnow true But the QEMU VM doesn't find the BMC over the BT channel. I've tried KCS channel as well, similar problem. I also set the serial parameter for channel 15, same.

It's at https://github.com/cminyard/qemu on github. There are two branches at the moment, stable-2.2-ipmi is based on the 2.2 release and will not rebase. master-ipmi-rebase will rebase on master as it moves. I haven't done extensive testing yet, and it has a few experimental things, like an SMBus IPMI interface and an I2C mux device. I need to split all that out at some point. I also need to rework the ACPI handling to use the new code to build the ACPI tables. Copying qemu-devel so that group knows.
