Sure, here it goes:

[ 62.866722] ipmi device interface
[ 63.874238] IPMI System Interface driver.
[ 63.874239] ipmi_si: probing via hardcoded address
[ 63.874241] ipmi_si: Adding hardcoded-specified kcs state machine
[ 63.874243] ipmi_si: Trying hardcoded-specified kcs state machine at i/o address 0xca8, slave address 0x0, irq 0
[ 63.874247] ipmi_si: Interface detection failed
