OM startup hanging

[Cathy Reaves]

Ok so a new twist on things.....

ps -Alf --forest shows the ipmi startup script still running with an
associated child process of modprobe.  I used the script dsm_sa_ipmi
script in /etc/init.d and did a stop; stopped OM too.  Restarted, then
stopped again.  Nothing would get rid of the modprobe process.

As luck would have it, it finally went away.

Now I am a little concerned because lsmod shows the ipmi_si_drv as
"uninitialized"
 lsmod

But to note, when I run the /etc/init.d script dsm_sa_ipmi it reports:

./dsm_sa_ipmi status
ipmi_msghandler module loaded.
ipmi_si_drv module loaded.
ipmi_devintf module loaded.
/dev/ipmi0 exists.

What does this all mean?  Do I have a problem or not?  Seems like
OpenManage is working.
