Bug Description
When updating 14.04 to 3.13.0-12 I noticed that the openipmi service failed to start on reboot. After running 'sudo service openipmi start', the service would still fail to start because it failed to load the ipmi modules.
Kernel 3.13.0-8, which was previously on the system, works fine.
I also updated to linux-image 3.14.0-
Steps to reproduce:
Install 14.04 server, amd64 version. Make sure kernel 3.13.0-11 or -12 are installed
Install openipmi.
Try to start the openipmi service (sudo service ipmi start)
Actual results:
openipmi fails to load the ipmi modules and the service fails to start
Expected results:
openipmi starts without problems.
This is an important issue because tools like ipmitool and Dell's iDRAC service module for Ubuntu rely on a working openipmi in order to function properly. The 3.14 kernels seem to have a fix of some sort in them.

This is the kernel that worked for me:

I can also go back and test the others until I find one that breaks.
