IPMI kernel modules not loading -> no ipmi device

My HP ML110 G5 has a IPMI device that worked but somewhen (I can't say when) it stopped working.

Proof that they exist in th machine with dmidecode:

Handle 0x0025, DMI type 38, 18 bytes
IPMI Device Information
    Interface Type: KCS (Keyboard Control Style)
    Specification Version: 2.0
    I2C Slave Address: 0x10
    NV Storage Device: Not Present
    Base Address: 0x0000000000000CA2 (I/O)
    Register Spacing: Successive Byte Boundaries

I quite soon found out that the ipmi kernel modules are not loaded so I tried to load them with modprobe:

modprobe ipmi_msghandler
modprobe ipmi_devintf
modprobe ipmi_si

no error, no response, no modules loaded (check with lsmod).

There are descriptions (http://en.onoclea.com/bits/hp-microserver-remote-access-card-ipmi-on-linux.html, http://wiki.adamsweet.org/doku.php?id=ipmi_on_linux) how to load the ipmi_si module with manual parameters. Tried, no error, no response, no modules loaded (check with lsmod).
