Wondering if there is any info on esm driver module(source) supplied by DELL, and if I can get hold of
the latest copy which could work on 1950.

Currently I have this module that is running on 1850s with RH9 flavor, but when I use the same on 1950,
it is not able to load, and is crashing in init time. (rest of the system is functioning, but lsmod shows esm.o in initializing state forever.

A brief look at the crash stakc is below:

 [<f8af346d>] .rodata.str1.1+0x0/0xe7 [esm]
 [<f8af65e0>] esm_fops+0x0/0x48 [esm]
 [<f8ae64e5>] init_module+0x5/0x10 [esm]
 [<c01200b4>] sys_init_module+0x5f4/0x760 [kernel]
 [<f8ae4060>] EsmIsDevAttnCmd+0x0/0x3c [esm]

I am suspecting this is to support the SMBUS, and IPMI eventually.

Any info or clues are appreciated.

Thanks,
