[Bug 1284334] Re: (regression?) openipmi fails to start on kernels 3.13.0-11-generic and 3.13.0-12-generic
I built a Trusty test kernel with CONFIG_IPMI_HANDLER=m. The test
kernel can be downloaded from:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp1284334/
Can you test this kernel to see if it exhibits the bug or not? You will
need to install both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb
packages.

Title:
(regression?) openipmi fails to start on kernels 3.13.0-11-generic and
3.13.0-12-generic
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
When updating 14.04 to 3.13.0-12 I noticed that the openipmi service
failed to start on reboot. After running 'sudo service openipmi
start', the service would still fail to start because it failed to
load the ipmi modules.
Kernel 3.13.0-8, which was previously on the system, works fine.
I also updated to linux-image 3.14.0-031400rc4-generic from the
mainline site and the openipmi service starts working again.
Steps to reproduce:
Install 14.04 server, amd64 version. Make sure kernel 3.13.0-11 or -12 are installed
Install openipmi.
Try to start the openipmi service (sudo service ipmi start)
Actual results:
openipmi fails to load the ipmi modules and the service fails to start
Expected results:
openipmi starts without problems.
This is an important issue because tools like ipmitool and Dell's
iDRAC service module for Ubuntu rely on a working openipmi in order to
function properly. The 3.14 kernels seem to have a fix of some sort
in them.
