Additional info: Until 0.2.3 release, probing drivers relied on SMBIOS
and default values (ACPI and PCI probing drivers never worked on any
system). The newer 0.3.0 uses DMI probing which works on most of the
systems. It looks like his system doesn't have SMBIOS. May be it will
have DMI tables populated. If so, GNU FreeIPMI 0.3.0 can automatically
detect.
