Hi Zev


     That maybe occurred question when I copied the log.
    

      I mainly care that why entity manager did not start and there is no service in /lib/system/systemd.
```

root@sky:/lib/systemd/system# ls xyz.openbmc_project.EntityManager
ls: xyz.openbmc_project.EntityManager: No such file or directory
root@sky:/lib/systemd/system# ls *EntityManager*
ls: *EntityManager*: No such file or directory
root@sky:/lib/systemd/system# systemctl xyz.openbmc_project.EntityManager
Unknown command verb xyz.openbmc_project.EntityManager.
root@sky:/lib/systemd/system#

```

Hi Patrick,


  1.  According to your suggestion, I can scan my FRU information via busctl command, but entity-manager did not start and can not be accessed.
The log is as below:

I modified one of the configuration which is in entity-manager/configuration folder, its name is Mt_jade.json, The modification is as below from line 759:
      "Name": "$bus test",
      "Probe": "xyz.openbmc_project.FruDevice({'PRODUCT_PRODUCT_NAME': 'test'})",
        "Type": "Chassis",


Still occurred the above log.



2. According to meta-quanta's commit, I did not find they modify entity-manager/configuration files. And I tried the method, however I can not display them to "ipmitool fru"
