Hi Doug,
I added 'device ipmi' added to kernel config file
Output (ACPI enabled)
ipmi0: <IPMI System Interface> on isa0
ipmi0: KCS mode found at mem 0xca2 alignment 0x4 on isa
ipmi0: KCS: initial state: 00
ipmi0: KCS: Failed to start write
ipmi0: KCS Error retry exhausted
ipmi0: KCS: Failed to start write
ipmi0: KCS Error retry exhausted
ipmi0: KCS: Failed to start write
ipmi0: KCS Error retry exhausted
ipmi0: Failed GET_DEVICE_ID: 5
Output (ACPI disabled)
ipmi0: <IPMI System Interface> on isa0
ipmi0: KCS mode found at mem 0xca2 alignment 0x4 on isa
ipmi0: KCS: initial state: 00
ipmi0: KCS: Failed to start write
ipmi0: KCS Error retry exhausted
ipmi0: KCS: Failed to start write
ipmi0: KCS Error retry exhausted
ipmi0: KCS: Failed to start write
ipmi0: KCS Error retry exhausted
ipmi0: Failed GET_DEVICE_ID: 5
The two look the same, but there is a definite change on the last line
of the initial and new output.

Could you try it static in the kernel and then with and without ACPI
enabled?
