Re: [Freeipmi-devel] ipmi_ctx_find_inband: device already open

[Kenneth Stailey]

Hi Al,

We had two HP ProLiant DL145 G1 servers with this issue.

One of them happens to be our primary OpenLDAP server so I cannot reboot it 
without change control, etc.  It is running Ubuntu 8.04.4.  The kipmi0 kernel 
thread is getting around 92% CPU continuously.  This has been the case for a 
long time and I have not been able to determine the cause of this.  The server 
is functioning normally otherwise.

The other one with the IPMI issue was rebooted since it is a secondary server.  
kipmi0 is not "spinning" the CPU on that one.  The patch

When I reboot the one with the kimpi0 thread issue I'll retest it and let you 
know.

When I run without the modules loaded via "rmmod ipmi_si ipmi_devintf 
ipmi_msghandler" and with the patch on the other one I see:

$ sudo /opt/freeipmi/sbin/ipmi-sensors
