1. Your on-board Intel Pro100 card should be up and running with same IP
address of BMC in GNU/Linux. This is known problem in SMDC firmware.

2. Install GNU FreeIPMI in another machine (This machine should be in same
network of IPMI machine by on-board Intel Pro100 card).

3. Test ICMP ping to IPMI machine.  This should be working.

4. If ICMP ping is successful, test whether ipmipower, ipmiping and
rcmpping are working or not.

Please try these steps and let me know.

Tyan does not support Serial Channel in BMC.  You can safely ignore this
as warnings and they are not related with ipmipower,ipmiping or rmcpping.
