Description of problem: The name of the udev binary has changed over time, from /sbin/udev to /sbin/udevd. The OpenIPMI initscript has, at at various times, included a check for one or the other of these names, but in reality, either could be present. A fix for the initscript has been checked in to the OpenIPMI project CVS, which allows distros to have either /sbin/udev or /sbin/udevd and for the script to handle this properly. FC6 does not (yet) have this fix, and in fact it looks for the wrong file (looks for /sbin/udev when it isn't present, but /sbin/udevd is present). Please upgrade to OpenIPMI initscript from OpenIPMI CVS. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): OpenIPMI-2.0.6-4.1 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. service ipmi start Actual results: warning that /dev/ipmi0 already exists Expected results: no warning Additional info:
Fixed in OpenIPMI-2.0.6-5 which should hit rawhide in the next few days. Read ya, Phil
