[PATCH] Add hacks for IPMI chassis poweroff for certain Dellservers

From: Corey Minyard
Date: Thu Sep 01 2005 - 14:05:43 EST




This patch allows Dell servers with IPMI controllers that predate IPMI
1.5 to use the standard poweroff or powercycle commands. These
systems firmware don't set the chassis capability bit in the Get
Device ID, but they do implement the standard poweroff and powercycle
commands.

Tested on RHEL3 kernel 2.4.21-20.ELsmp on a PowerEdge 2600. The
standard ipmi_poweroff driver cannot drive these systems. With this
patch, they power off or powercycle as expected.
