I'm not sure if this qualifies. With an August 23 kernel, I get these
during a boot:
ipmi0: critical over limit on 'Fan8/CPU2'
ipmi0: critical over limit on 'Fan7/CPU1'
ipmi0: critical over limit on 'Fan6'
ipmi0: critical over limit on 'Fan5'
ipmi0: critical over limit on 'Fan4'
This spew on to console about 10 or 15 seconds after init starts, and
happen even if I boot to single user mode (ie, no rc.d stuff involved at
all).
I suspect these are just unattached sensors? They never change from:
Fan8/CPU2: 0 RPM
Fan7/CPU1: 0 RPM
Fan6: 0 RPM
Fan5: 0 RPM
Fan4: 0 RPM
Well, that certainly qualifies as weird! It's rather hard to imagine how a fan running at 0 RPM could be over any critical limit! :)
Unattached sensors shouldn't generate alarms. Any chance you could check with a kernel from today to see if the initialization code I committed has any effect? Meantime I grovel through the code again looking for more clues.
