Hi there,
Thanks very much for the reply.

Before mailing the list I saw those notes and tried the suggestion,
but unfortunately no luck.
mail5:~# >>> cat /proc/devices | grep ipmi
mail5:~# >>> modprobe ipmi_devintf
mail5:~# >>> cat /proc/devices | grep ipmi
252 ipmidev
mail5:~# >>> /bin/mknod /dev/ipmi0 c 252 0
mail5:~# >>> ls -l /dev/ipmi0

... 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.
mail5:~# >>> time ipmi-sensors
Caching SDR repository information:

ipmi_sdr_cache_create: internal IPMI error

:(
You may also find mailing the openipmi users list more helpful than this
list.
Thanks for the pointer, I'll give it a try.
