I've tested stock raring (3.8.0-19) and proposed (3.8.0-27-40) and the ipmi interface doesn't work as I expected it to. I would like to see this support included in 12.04.3 LTS.
Here is the relevant information from inserting the ipmi_si module: Jul 12 17:04:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 16.947988] ipmi_si 0000:02:00.6: probing via PCI Jul 12 17:04:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 16.948038] ipmi_si 0000:02:00.6: [mem 0xd0010000-0xd001ffff 64bit pref] regsize 1 spacing 4 irq 0 Jul 12 17:04:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 16.948040] ipmi_si: Adding PCI-specified kcs state machine Jul 12 17:04:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 16.948082] ipmi_si: probing via SMBIOS Jul 12 17:04:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 16.948084] ipmi_si: SMBIOS: mem 0x0 regsize 1 spacing 1 irq 0 Jul 12 17:04:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 16.948085] ipmi_si: Adding SMBIOS-specified kcs state machine Jul 12 17:04:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 16.948087] ipmi_si: probing via SPMI Jul 12 17:04:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 16.948089] ipmi_si: SPMI: io 0xca2 regsize 1 spacing 1 irq 0 Jul 12 17:04:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 16.948090] ipmi_si: Adding SPMI-specified kcs state machine Jul 12 17:04:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 16.948092] ipmi_si: Trying PCI-specified kcs state machine at mem address 0xd0010000, slave address 0x0, irq 0 Jul 12 17:04:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 17.073723] ipmi_si: Invalid return from get global enables command, cannot enable the event buffer.
