Hi Jacob,
Well there's several answers.
A) It's possible your motherboard advertises support for DCMI but
actually doesn't. I've seen some motherboards like this. It's a bug
from the vendor. You'd have to ping your vendor for the definite answer
to whether your motherboard supports DCMI.
B) The power config may not be configured. See --get-power-limit and
--set-power-limit. The most important config is the sampling period.
If it's set to 0, your system may not be sampling at all.
C) There may be a mechanism needed to enable DCMI that's independent of
FreeIPMI on your motherboard. Perhaps a setting in the BIOS.
Hope that helps,
Al
