Description:  The IPMI device driver attempted to determine if the system supported an IPMI BMC device. The driver 

attempted to detect the presence of the IPMI BMC by searching the SMBIOS for Type 38 record. But either no 

record was found or the record was not compatible with the version of the device driver. 

If a SMBIOS Type 38 record was detected, the Dump Data field of the event contains a binary representation of 

the record.
