Re: [Freeipmi-users] GNU FreeIPMI 0.2.0-beta0 RELEASE

[Avnindra Singh]

Hi All,

Wish you a happy new year.

Successfully compiled on FreeBSD with a little porting effort.
I tried this beta release on a FreeBSD based system we have.
The system is Intel chassis SR2400 having Intel SE7520JR2 motherboard.
I had problem using bmc-info and ipmi-sensors.

Used ipmi-locate to find driver and related info:
su-2.04#  /usr/local/sbin/ipmi-locate
Probing KCS device using SMBIOS... FAILED
Probing SMIC device using SMBIOS... FAILED
Probing BT device using SMBIOS... FAILED
Probing SSIF device using SMBIOS... done
IPMI Version: 1.5
IPMI locate driver: SMBIOS
IPMI locate driver: 0
IPMI interface: SSIF
BMC I2C device: (null)
FATAL: error parsing base address *<====== (base address is returned 0x4 
which its unable to parse)*
Register space: 1
Probing KCS device using ACPI... FAILED
Probing SMIC device using ACPI... FAILED
Probing BT device using ACPI... FAILED
Probing SSIF device using ACPI... FAILED
Probing KCS device using PCI... FAILED
Probing SMIC device using PCI... FAILED
Probing BT device using PCI... FAILED
Probing SSIF device using PCI... FAILED

Using info from this command:
ran
/usr/local/sbin/bmc-info -D SSIF
ipmi_cmd_get_dev_id(): ipmi command 00h: Command Completed Normally.
Channel Information:
su-2.04#
bmc-info produces just this.

Ran ipmi-sensors anyway.
su-2.04#  /usr/local/sbin/ipmi-sensors -D SSIF --all
ipmi_cmd_get_sdr_repo_info2(): ipmi command 00h: Command Completed Normally.
ipmi_cmd_get_sdr_repo_info2(): ipmi command 00h: Command Completed Normally.
ipmi_cmd_get_sdr_repo_info2(): ipmi command 00h: Command Completed Normally.

FORMAT: error with call: (format #f "Fetching record ~d of ~d<=== 
(current record ID ~" 1 ===>#f 0 )
       argument not an integer

su-2.04#

The system is Intel chassis SR2400 having Intel SE7520JR2.

The configuration is:
CPU: Pentium 4 (2992.52-MHz 686-class CPU)
real memory  = 2147352576 (2097024K bytes)
hw.guessed_mboard: Intel SE7520JR2
OS: FreeBSD 4.2 based but lot of stuff backported to it from newer releases.

DMIDECODE tells
SMBIOS 2.3 present.
.....
DMI type 38, 18 bytes.
       IPMI Device Information
               Interface Type: <OUT OF SPEC>
               Specification Version: 1.5
               I2C Slave Address: 0x10
               NV Storage Device: Not Present
               Base Address: 0x0000000000000084 (Memory-mapped)
               Register Spacing: Successive Byte Boundaries

If you need any other info, I'll be happy to supply.

Thanks and regards,
Avnindra
