Hi there,
First post. First time using IPMI. I have no clue what I'm doing.
I have an Acer Altos G310 server which has a FS1100A motherboard.
The machine is running Debian 'Squeeze' which allegedly provides IPMI
support. All I want to do is log some temperatures.
# dmidecode 2.9

The full output of dmidecode is available here if requried:

The ipmi_devintf module loads without complaint and this
loads the impi_msghandler module automaticall but no ipmi* device is
created in /dev although there is an entry in /proc/devices. Module
ipmi_si fails to load.

I have tried to load the ipmi_si module using assorted manually set
parameters and met only failure.
Am I missing something obvious?
