Thanks for reporting. It is very important for "sel" utility to
provide as much useful info as possible to aid troubleshooting.
Now I will have to dig outside the IPMI specification to decode
these platform/system specific error descriptions. I will include this
in my TODO list with higher priority.
Rick Moen, Please file this as a support request.
Thanks
