RE: [Freeipmi-devel] Re: ibmx3650 reboots after ipmi-sel is unable toget SEL record

[Al Chu]

Hey Won,

As Andrew said, we need a bit more information.  For freeipmi, you could
output the SEL in hex (-x), but for what we're trying to do, it might be
best to output with --debug.  You'll be able to see the SEL Event
Records before each output.  We can interpret the hex from that point.
