Question
IPMI is using 100% CPU utilization issue with the kimpi0 module. It happened again after I upgrade to 2.04. My board doesn't have a jumper to disable IPMI, how do I stop it from using all my CPU?

Answer
The kipmi module only uses IDLE cycles to poll the IPMI. This does not increase the machine's load or affect response time. However, you can disable kipmi module (in Redhat/CentOS). Edit /etc/modprobe.conf and add:

options ipmi_si force_kipmid=0

Restart the ipmi service using following command.
# service ipmi restart
