I had used the the 6.3 net installer disk (and the 6.4 repo) which I noticed had kernel 2.6.32-279, so I retrieved that kernel from the vault and it works.

The  279 and earlier kernels don't display any ipmi messages during boot (in dmesg)
The system is not ipmi capable I don't believe, should I be looking there?

Try adding the following kernel parameters and see if the 6.4 kernel boots:

ipmi_si.tryacpi=0 ipmi_si.trydmi=0 ipmi_si.trydefaults=0

Awesome, that did the trick.
I do not see those parameters  in https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt

There is an error in the boot to 2.6.32.-358.23.2

irq 19: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)

I've added the irqpoll parameter and the message goes away.Is there any downside to using it?
