Re: [Freeipmi-users] bmc-config -o not dumping the whole config

[Dennis Jacobfeuerborn]

I was just about to respond to my own message that I tested both old and 
new freeipmi versions on old and new install and found that on centos 5 
things work fine regardless of freeipmi version and on centos 6 things 
don't work also regardless of the freeipmi version pointing to the OS as 
the culprit.

After reading the FAQ entry I installed OpenIPMI to get the init script, 
started it to get /dev/ipmi0 and now bmc-config works as expected. Not 
an ideal situation I agree.

Thanks for the pointer this helped me a lot!

Regards,
  Dennis
