Bug Fix

BZ#881450
The kernel ipmi_msghandler and ipmi_si modules are no longer delivered as standalone modules. As a consequence, an error occurred if these modules were used independently. With this update, the OpenIPMI init script has been modified to enable IPMI service operations on a kernel with ipmi_si and ipmi_msghandler statically compiled in the kernel. Also, the service status message now includes a new "in kernel" module state.
Users of OpenIPMI are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
