Hello everybody.

I rebooted with current kernel from sl-security (2.6.32-358.2.1.el6) and
discovered that IPMI completely stopped working. Service
/etc/init.d/ipmi prints "FAILED" when starting, /dev/ipmi* device isn't
created and so on.

TUV introduced change in 6.4 - kernel ipmi support is compiled in
(CONFIG_IPMI_SI=y instead of =m in previous versions), so
init script is supposed to just activate it, instead of old code that
loads module & such. Package with fixed initscript is available as
OpenIPMI-2.0.16-14: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2013-0492.html

However, currently SL6 offers new kernel, but old OpenIPMI from 6.3, so
everything IPMI-related refuses to work until user manually rebuilds &
updates to that SRPM.
