Re: [Freeipmi-users] ipmitools with IPMI BMC KCS

[Al Chu]

Hi Fabio,

Some HP motherboards have a bug which does not advertise properly it's
KCS device information.  Here's the workaround option from the manpage

----
assumeio - This workaround flag will assume inband interfaces 
communicate with  system  I/O  rather  than  being  memory-mapped.  
This  will  work around systems that report invalid base addresses. 
Those hitting this issue may see "device not supported" or "could not 
find inband device" errors.  Issue observed on HP ProLiant DL145 G1.
----

It'd be worth a shot trying it out (via "-W assumeio").
