omreport returns nothing

[Jesse Proudman]

To provide more information, the whole reason I am attempting to do  
this is because the PowerEdge 850 has the orange blinking light on  
the front and I need to know what's causing it.

I believe I've gotten IPMI to install into my kernal and load on boot.

----------------

Even with that above, I get the following:

[root at vsh1 dev]# ipmitool sdr list full -vvv
Querying SDR for sensor list
Could not open device at /dev/ipmi0 or /dev/ipmi/0 or /dev/ipmidev/0:  
No such file or directory
Get Device ID command failed
Unable to open SDR for reading

All I need to know is why that warning light is blinking.  Can some  
one help?
