Re: [Freeipmi-devel]ipmi_monitoring_sensor_readings_by_record_id:internal IPMI error

Hey David,

Hmmm.  What you're showing me is indicative of timeouts.  As if the
inband communication is too busy to respond or just isn't responding.
Did you load the openipmi kernel driver?  Or are you using the freeipmi
KCS driver?

Have you tried running this out of band/over the network yet?  Does that
work?
