Dale, not sure exactly what you're after here, but powerman has no connection with LinuxBIOS or IPMI. It manages external remote power control devices (power strips with ethernet connections).

Hi Jim,
Well, I'm probably just being stupid, to put it frankly. Basically I was wondering what power on/off functionality LinuxBIOS has, or if it can use IPMI. There have been updated drivers added the kernel in the pass couple of months for IPMI, I assume that could be used by LinuxBIOS to access that functionality on those boards that support IPMI. I was mainly curious if anyone had been doing any development in those areas. My disconnect on powerman was just my failure to RTFM. Sorry, for any confusion. ;-)
