Details
Updated freeipmi packages that fix several bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.
The FreeIPMI project provides "Remote-Console" (out-of-band) and "System
Management Software" (in-band) based on the Intelligent Platform Management
Interface specification.
These updated freeipmi packages provide fixes for the following bugs:
* Prior to this update, the "ipmi-sel" tool did not properly initialize itself
and crashed when reading an empty SEL (System Event Log). With this update,
ipmi-sel initialization is fixed and the tool no longer crashes when reading an
empty SEL. (BZ#439411)
* Prior to this update, the "freeipmi-bmc-watchdog" service start did not expect
that a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) watchdog timer could already be
running and did not reset the timer. In addition, the service stop did not stop
the BMC watchdog timer. This could result in a watchdog timer resetting, or
shutting down, the machine. With this update, "service freeipmi-bmc-watchdog
start" resets any previously started BMC watchdog timer and "service
freeipmi-bmc-watchdog stop" correctly stops the timer. As a result the machine
boots up normally. (BZ#639850)
All users of freeipmi are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix these bugs.
