From a798e2d2d7374ba1e35e2244506f56c8363902cf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Jordan_Hargrave@Dell.com" Date: Thu, 5 Sep 2013 06:36:35 -0500 Subject: Add MODULE_ALIAS for autoloading ipmi driver on ACPI systems I'd submitted this about a year ago but it never made it upstream. The latest versions of the kernel drivers for ipmi can use ACPI to determine the type of BMC device used in the system. The following patch adds a module alias so that udev will autoload the ipmi_si driver.
