Re: [Freeipmi-users] ipmitools with IPMI BMC KCS

[Fabio Cecamore]

Thank you Al,
I unfortunately discovered that the ipmi card does not actually installed on 
my PC.
The reference is to a plug-in that I have not bought.

I apologize for the error and thank you for trying.

Can you try running ipmi-locate?  Lets see if ipmi-locate can even find
a IPMI card on your system.

Usually you don't need to, but installing/running the Linux IPMI kernel
driver is worth trying.  If you're on Linux w/ most distros
"/etc/init.d/ipmi start" should start it up.
