[Freeipmi-users] Freeipmi 0.4.3 Problem reading Intel mBMC on SE7320SP2

[Schäfer Raumgestaltung]

Big trouble in little China....

Board: Intel SE7320Sp2
           mBMC PC87431M

Distro: Opensuse 10.2 (Kernel 2.6.18)
           Arch: x86_64


Done so far:

built Freeipmi 0.4.3 RPM from Sources (thanks to Opensuse Buildservice) 

Trying to read Sensor-Values like....

>ipmi-sensors -D ssif --driver-device /dev/i2c-0  --driver-address 0x42

Fetching SDR repository Information ...done
FAILED: Retrieval of SDR record 0x0ord ID 0)

SDR Cache creation failed: internal_error
..... or somtimes (until flushing Cache with -f)
SDR Cache creation failed: ipmi_communication_error


any hints what's going wrong ??


attached: some "Diagnostic"
