Description David Hill 2019-04-23 19:49:09 UTC
1. Please describe the problem:
[root@zappa scripts]# bash get_temperature.sh 
Could not open device at /dev/ipmi0 or /dev/ipmi/0 or /dev/ipmidev/0: No such file or directory
[root@zappa scripts]# modprobe ipmi_si
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'ipmi_si': No such device


2. What is the Version-Release number of the kernel:
[root@zappa scripts]# uname -a
Linux zappa.orion 5.1.0-0.rc4.git0.1.fc31.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Apr 8 17:24:22 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


3. Did it work previously in Fedora? If so, what kernel version did the issue
   *first* appear?  Old kernels are available for download at
   https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8 :
yes

4. Can you reproduce this issue? If so, please provide the steps to reproduce
   the issue below:
would have to downgrade the kernel and reboot

5. Does this problem occur with the latest Rawhide kernel? To install the
   Rawhide kernel, run ``sudo dnf install fedora-repos-rawhide`` followed by
   ``sudo dnf update --enablerepo=rawhide kernel``:
fairly recent

6. Are you running any modules that not shipped with directly Fedora's kernel?:
no

7. Please attach the kernel logs. You can get the complete kernel log
   for a boot with ``journalctl --no-hostname -k > dmesg.txt``. If the
   issue occurred on a previous boot, use the journalctl ``-b`` flag.

I downgraded to previous working kernel (5.0.0-0.rc6.git1.1) and it works:

[root@zappa scripts]# bash get_temperature.sh 
Temperature:29.000

I've also tested with 5.1.0-rc5 and it's broken too.

Comment 2 Laura Abbott 2019-04-23 22:34:22 UTC
Can you test on v5.1-rc6 I see bd2e98b351b6 ("ipmi: Fix failure on SMBIOS specified devices") which might be related.

Failing that, this needs to be reported to the upstream IPMI maintainer

Comment 3 David Hill 2019-04-24 13:18:01 UTC
Where is it available from ?

Comment 4 David Hill 2019-04-24 15:19:56 UTC
Kernel 5.1-rc6 resolves this :

[root@zappa scripts]# uname -a
Linux zappa.orion 5.1.0-0.rc6.git0.1.fc31.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Apr 22 14:45:45 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


[root@zappa scripts]# bash get_temperature.sh 
Temperature:28.000

Great, thanks for letting us know.
