Bug#833861: /dev/ipmi* missing on ppc64*
Package: linux
Version: 4.6.4-1
Tags: patch
--
Hi,
when trying to use ipmitool locally on a ppc64el host, I get this :
---
debian@abanc:~$ ipmitool lan print 1
Could not open device at /dev/ipmi0 or /dev/ipmi/0 or /dev/ipmidev/0: No such
file or directory
---
I saw that ipmi_powernv module is not compiled in the kernel package.
I used the attached patch and it build the module and I can now load the
module, I see /dev/ipmi0 created and I can run ipmitool. I guess the same issue
will happen on ppc64.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks!
F.
