Hi,
I'm not entirely sure what your problem may be. I have some additional
OpenIPMI linux kernel driver notes here that could help:
http://www.gnu.org/software/freeipmi/README.openipmi
You may also find mailing the openipmi users list more helpful than this
list.
However, if you're using the FreeIPMI tools (i.e. ipmi-sensors or
ipmi-sel), you normally don't need to load the IPMI kernel driver.
FreeIPMI's tools implement a driver in userspace that can work as long
as you are root.
