ipmi 1.4.14-1 on a 2450

[Paul A]

Thanks, Matt and Chris.

I had a feeling that old 2450 didn't have a BMC.

So OMSA 4.5 supports 2450, where can I find the source or better yet can
this be installed through yum. 

Does OMSA give you the same output as ipmitool.

This was as far as I got, 

[root at smtp2 ~]# /etc/init.d/ipmi status
ipmi_msghandler module not loaded.
ipmi_si module not loaded.
ipmi_devintf module not loaded.
/dev/ipmi0 does not exist.

[root at smtp2 ~]# modprobe ipmi_msghandler
[root at smtp2 ~]# modprobe ipmi_devintf

[root at smtp2 ~]# modprobe ipmi_si
FATAL: Error inserting ipmi_si
(/lib/modules/2.6.9-42.0.2.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si.ko): No
such device






Thanks,
