However, on the 2650 I saw false trips. It was one of the reasons I wrote ipmi(4). Eventually, I need to get in sync with jhb to add kernel back-trace support to it. I have some code at work to do it but it needs some work to ensure it works in every case etc. BTW, there is code/patches floating around to control the LCD on these Dell machines via ipmitool and on the r710 control attributes of the LCD. Unfortunately the ipmitool folks haven't pick it up. Doug A.
