Yes. I don't know if the kernel which comes with Edgy Eft already has 
what is needed inside. Provided that I'm used to recompile the kernel 
for all my servers, I can suggest you what I did:
- make sure that CONFIG_FUSION_CTL is compiled either inside the kernel 
or as a module.
- make sure that following items are compiled (not sure which are 
required and which are not):
CONFIG_IPMI_HANDLER
CONFIG_IPMI_PANIC_EVENT
CONFIG_IPMI_PANIC_STRING
CONFIG_IPMI_DEVICE_INTERFACE
CONFIG_IPMI_SI
CONFIG_IPMI_WATCHDOG
CONFIG_IPMI_POWEROFF
I had to compile them as modules else IPMI was not working.


Hope this helps.
Alessandro
