phosphor-ipmi-host.service intermittently failing in openbmc CI

[geissonator]

If you go look at https://jenkins.openbmc.org/job/CI-MISC/job/run-ci-in-qemu/, you'll see a smattering of red failures. These intermittent failures popped up about a month ago. I've continued to just resubmit the failed jobs to get them through, hoping this issue would magically go away at some point, but it's not.

The symptom is the following in the journal as the BMC is booting up in QEMU:

Jan 25 16:55:09 romulus systemd[1]: phosphor-ipmi-host.service: Scheduled restart job, restart counter is at 1.

The restart after this works ok but CI logs a failure if they see something like this in the journal.

The full FFDC for a failure can be found up here: https://jenkins.openbmc.org/job/CI-MISC/job/run-ci-in-qemu/10869/artifact/logs/20230125165602376838_RedfishIpmiRedfishExtendedTestBasicCi/20230125165602376838_CheckForApplicationFailures/

Unfortunately we're still seeing this intermittently. Another recreate up at https://jenkins.openbmc.org/job/CI-MISC/job/run-ci-in-qemu/11748/artifact/logs/20230411091246842759_RedfishIpmiRedfishExtendedTestBasicCi/20230411091246842759_CheckForApplicationFailures/20230411091246842759_BMC_journalctl_nopager.txt

Is this still happening? I see similar issue as well.
