Problem is in crappy KCS controller. bmc-info when forced to work on 
IO-MAPPED KCS interface, it works OK. Rest of the tools don't. Because 
get_device_info is a simple IPMI command with no much data. bmc-config
starts to fetch data and hangs in the middle.

It may be possible to tweak the KCS driver to work for this BMC, But I 
don't have access to e325 any more.
