Re: [Freeipmi-devel] internal IPMI error on successful ipmi_cmd_dcmi_set

Yes, SuperMicro firmware is "IPMI-lite".  It does the basics, but compliance is not adhered to strictly.

Hey Curtis,

I believe I have a fix in this branch if you could try it out.

svn co
http://svn.savannah.gnu.org/svn/freeipmi/branches/Release-1_4_0_branch
freeipmi
cd freeipmi
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
ipmi-config/ipmi-config

Thanks,
Al
