| 32 | When a panic occurs, this will cause the IPMI message handler to |
| 33 | generate IPMI OEM type f0 events holding the IPMB address of the |
| 34 | panic generator (byte 4 of the event), a sequence number for the |
| 35 | string (byte 5 of the event) and part of the string (the rest of the |
| 36 | event). Bytes 1, 2, and 3 are the normal usage for an OEM event. |

| 57 | help |
| 58 | Modern systems will usually expose IPMI interfaces via a discoverable |
| 59 | firmware mechanism such as ACPI or DMI. Older systems do not, and so |
| 60 | the driver is forced to probe hardware manually. This may cause boot |
| 61 | delays. Say "n" here to disable this manual probing. IPMI will then |
| 62 | only be available on older systems if the "ipmi_si_intf.trydefaults=1" |
| 63 | boot argument is passed. |
