Hello,

( I would like to request that you CC me in replies )

I'm trying to fix the ipmisensors patch to 2.6.30.2 (which is the xen-based 
kernel i now use; the patch was written for 2.6.17 and contains numerous 
deprecated code)

I do have the problem that the ipmi_msghandler module doesn't seem to generate 
events at modprobe.

the  ipmisensors_new_smi, ipmisensors_smi_gone &  ipmisensors_msg_handler are 
never executed...

can i get any hints?

Kind regards,

Maarten
