I'm getting the (unintelligible to me) error message ipmi_si: Could not set up I/O space ERST: Failed to get Error Log Address Range when I try to boot any OS on the grub menu apart from the one I last installed. (Actually, Windows also boots properly.)
I wonder if anyone has had this error message, and worked out where it comes from?
You have the IPMI daemon running on boot (which is normally acceptable [on servers equipped with iLO/BMC hardware] ).
chkconfig --list ipmi
service ipmi status
I'd start by trying to stop and then start the ipmi daemon -- maybe you'll get additional useful information.
service ipmi stop service ipmi start
I googled for it, and it has come up many times; but there seem to be several entirely different suggested causes.
I am running CentOS-6.5 on an HP MicroServer. I mention that as some of the explanations suggest that it only occurs on certain machines.

And once you see that /dev/ipmi is running, then what I'm assuming you have installed, ipmitools, ipmitool sel list to see the system event log, which is a BMC hardware thing, independent of the O/S - it's *low* level.
