Hi, when trying to use ipmitool locally on a ppc64el host, I get this : --- debian@abanc:~$ ipmitool lan print 1 Could not open device at /dev/ipmi0 or /dev/ipmi/0 or /dev/ipmidev/0: No such file or directory --- I saw that ipmi_powernv module is not compiled in the kernel package. I used the attached patch and it build the module and I can now load the module, I see /dev/ipmi0 created and I can run ipmitool. I guess the same issue will happen on ppc64. Let me know what you think. Thanks! F.
