********************************************
PLEASE REBOOT SYSTEM NOW
********************************************
Also tried dosbox and apparently that's the crashing command. Also tried dosemu
but that program also vanishes as soon as I start AFUDOS.EXE even with -s
for complete physical hardware access. I then extracted the BIOS zip archive to my USB thumb drive, started freedos from my multi-boot grub menu, renamed AFUDOS.SMC to AFUDOS.EXE, booted FreeDOS with the "+HIMEM" option and then
C:
afudos.exe H8DG63.B25 /P /B /N /C /R
which ended with "Program ended normally." After that the expected error about CMOS having invalid config, went into BIOS config utility, configured some additional minor stuff, e.g. ACPI 3.0 support. I saw that there is a possibility to configure the BMC network but only IPv4. Saved, exited, continued the boot. The system said that BMC is re-initialized and the system continued to boot.
The BIOS reports Supermicro H8DG6/i(-F), version 3.5, build date 2013-11-25
After boot I verified that I can ping the IPv6 address 2a07:de40:a102:5:225:90ff:feA2:B848 but ipmitool -6 -I lanplus -C 3 -H 2a07:de40:a102:5:225:90ff:feA2:B848
does not manage to connect properly.
ipmitool -vvvvv -6 -I lanplus -C 3 -H 2a07:de40:a102:5:225:90ff:feA2:B848 …
shows connection attempts which look successful but then the IPMI commands are not correctly evaluated.

As https://gitlab.suse.de/OPS-Service/salt/-/merge_requests/5036 is merged and deployed I think there is not more we can do regarding IPMI. However now the problem is a bit severe because the Linux system does not see an ethernet adapter anymore.
