Effectively, enabling ipmi in the kernel in 6.7 doesnt let ipmitool attach to the ipmi I have, thus making them quasi-not-so-useful boards with 6.7 as is. When I get time I will bisect the 6.7 changes, I guess. Note that they ran 5.2 through 6.6 and let me attach ipmitool. Supermicro X7SPE-HF-D525 for those interested, dmesg output is posted at the start of this thread.
/dev/ipmi access should be fixed in -current now thanks to a report
from a user who spent the time to bisect.
