As far as I can tell, yes. > It's not something on the ISA/PCI bus? > I wish I knew. When I run sensors-detect, the i2c-piix4 driver works fine, loads and seems very content. This is the driver for the communications bus correct? Next as the program continues, it fails on the drivers for the different chips. I have tried both ISA and SMBus multiple times. I have also tried to manually insert the modules myself with no luck there either. I have gone over the manuals and I believe I have tried most everything mentioned. > Them telling you what the chips are shouldn't require an NDA... > or you can look at the board... > Or do you already know it is some proprietary sensor chip? > I am almost 100% sure that they are proprietary chips. The reason for the NDA I believe is because the documents I received have the specs for everything on the motherboard, including all the proprietary stuff. > Of course we would welcome a donation... > I have already been told I can send hardware if that will help get the issue resolved. I might be able to get some pizza and beer involved too. I appreciate your help on this matter. I wish I had more information to give you, this SMBus stuff is pretty new to me.
