Re: [Freeipmi-users] FreeIPMI recognizes OEM sensor, but it does not return a reasonable state for it

Hi Al,

> support for it in the following beta, can you LMK if it works for you.


I got this error on "make install":

test -z "/usr/local/sbin" || mkdir -p -- "/usr/local/sbin"
  /bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c  
'ipmi-pef-config' '/usr/local/sbin/ipmi-pef-config'
/usr/bin/install -c .libs/ipmi-pef-config /usr/local/sbin/ipmi-pef-config
make  install-exec-hook
make[4]: Entering directory  
`/root/software/freeipmi/freeipmi-1.0.2.beta3/ipmi-pef-config/src'
/root/software/freeipmi/freeipmi-1.0.2.beta3/config/install-sh -d -m 755  
/usr/local/sbin
ln -s /usr/local/sbin/ipmi-pef-config /usr/local/sbin/pef-config
ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/local/sbin/pef-config': File exists


I then removed the existing symbolic link and ran "make install" again.  
Next error was about "/usr/local/sbin/ipmi-console". Therefore, I removed  
all symlinks in that dir. Installation went fine afterwards and all  
symlinks were created.

Though, the state is still shown as "N/A".



> So I can finalize documentation, what motherboard is this specifically?

This is a Dell PowerEdge R210 with an Intel Xeon X3430 Quad Core. If you  
need more info, please tell me where I can find that info.
