    ipmitool doesnt work during startup on RHEL 4.5

    I am trying to use ipmitool during startup to detect certain hardware and run some configuration. This worked fine for me on RHEL 5.4 but only after smartd had started. For some reason I cant get it to work any time before I get a login prompt on RHEL 4.5. Am I missing something?

    Come to find out it looks like something just takes time to load and if I put a sleep in rc.local before running ipmitool then it works. Any idea what it's waiting on.

    It looks like I'm waiting for these:


    86,92c86,99
    < root 4355 14 0 14:24 # 00:00:00 /bin/sh /sbin/hotplug ipmi
    < root 4356 14 0 14:24 # 00:00:00 /bin/sh /sbin/hotplug ipmi
    < root 4359 4355 0 14:24 # 00:00:00 /etc/hotplug.d/default/05-wait_for_sysfs.hotplug ipmi
    < root 4360 4356 0 14:24 # 00:00:00 /etc/hotplug.d/default/05-wait_for_sysfs.hotplug ipmi

    Any idea how to wait for hotplug to finish?
