Re: [Freeipmi-users] Free ipmi 1.6.3 ipmi-sel command exits with a error on some quanta servers

[Albert Chu]

Hi Stephen,

This is an error I don't recall seeing before.  It appears one of the
SDR records is not legal and FreeIPMI doesn't really know how to
proceed b/c of it.  No workaround I can think about at the moment.

Could you send me the --debug output.  Minimally I can see what
FreeIPMI thinks this motherboard is doing.  Then we consider workaround
options that I might add.
