Hi wonderful people,
I am having a never seen before issue that started right after last week's OMV (Debian) Linux Kernel updates and same time Usul upgrades.
So my current is Openmediavault 5.2.4-1 (Usul) running on Linux 5.4.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.4.8-1~bpo10+1 (2020-01-07) x86_64.
I premise that I religiously apply updates and then reboot the server as soon as I get each cron alert, within 48 hours which is standard best practice in my lab.
Starting that time (1/10/2020) I am getting this error during boot up sequence: I noticed it only because I was in front of the panel during the upgrades and reboots, otherwise I would have not even noticed them.
"ipmi_si dmi-ipmi-si.0: IRQ index 0 not found
ipmi_si IPI0001:00: IRQ index 0 not found"
That's it, no other error message , and they show up just at the end of the boot sequence, right before clearing up for the main login prompt.
IPMI interface on my motherboard (Supermicro) works just fine: I can access, launch reboot/shutdown commands and the java KVM from remote.
I scoured the net for similar error and I only found one single similar reference for the most recent Clear-linux-native-5.4.2-875 distribution update, right on its official github bug forum.
They consider it a false positive and marked it as bug.
May it be also a false positive for this Usul /SMP Debian version?
I admit I have no knowledge of IPMI modules commands/tools/debug, hence I know not how to query any internal tool for further detail: suggestions are welcome !!
The reason why I am not going nuts about this is that everything is working perfectly, IPMI interface included: my only concern founded would Usul actually be utilizing IPMI on my motherboard for triggers, power monitoring or other functions and now it is not.
Alas, I would not even know if they are working or not as I cannot find either ipmi_si or dmi-ipmi-si module/reference in syslog to even query.
Any takers? Suggestions? Shall I just ignore / "snooze-button-on-worry" for now?
Yours truly,
peace and love.
