I answer to myself: it is necessary to compile IPMI as module and not 
inside the kernel. I don't know why, but in this way it worked for me.

# IPMI
#
CONFIG_IPMI_HANDLER=m
CONFIG_IPMI_PANIC_EVENT=y
CONFIG_IPMI_PANIC_STRING=y
CONFIG_IPMI_DEVICE_INTERFACE=m
CONFIG_IPMI_SI=m
CONFIG_IPMI_WATCHDOG=m
CONFIG_IPMI_POWEROFF=m

Doing so, omreport started to work.
