** Description changed: [Impact] Just loading the necessary modules is not enough to get a working IPMI system interface (/dev/ipmi0) on Cavium ThunderX CRBs, and other ThunderX-based Gigabyte servers. You have to do some magic: echo ipmi_ssif 0x12 >/sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-4/new_device - or maybe: - echo ipmi_ssif 0x12 >/sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-4/new_device + or maybe: + echo ipmi_ssif 0x12 >/sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-5/new_device Loading the modules should be enough. [Test Case] sudo modprobe ipmi_ssif sudo modprobe ipmi_devintf Do you have a working /dev/ipmi0? sudo ipmitool lan print [Regression Risk] The driver being fixed is only used on ThunderX-based systems, and is currently not usable w/o the above manual config.
