This only means that if you actually use IPMI, your tools will communicate
with kernel using character device with major 254.

If you do not use IPMI and thus do not have kernel modules loaded, you are
OK. Please verify by:

cat /proc/devices

in section "Character device:" if major 254 is already in use. On my
system, e.g.:

Character devices:
...
254 pcmcia

I forgot that in Linux the GUI isn't part of the OS but patched on 
top of it with duck-tape :-)
