Hi Adrian,
bmcsensors package (reading hardware sensors provided by intel boards
via ipmi) used to work fine with 2.6.10; no longer works with 2.6.11
because of removal of the ipmi_request function (+ exported symbol).
correct fix would be to use ipmi_request_settime with retries=-1 and
retry_time_ms=0?
I didn't know about this, the patch below readds ipmi_request.
IMHO, it's probably better to modify your patch to use
ipmi_request_settime. That function is there is all recent kernels.
Unfortunately, I can't magically re-add the ipmi_request function to
2.6.11, and it would be less confusing to have a new patch for
bmcsensors that worked with stock 2.6.11.
Again, sorry about this.
