Hey Joe, I found your site and newsgroup postings while doing a little research on a EEPROM corruption problem we're trying to solve under Linux with the Lm_sensors project. What seems to be happening is that users of these Thinkpad models are getting CRC errors on boot, or a 'RFID serialization' error: ThinkPad 770X ThinkPad 600E ThinkPad 770Z ThinkPad 600X ThinkPad 240 ThinkPad X20 ThinkPad 570E I've got two questions which I'm trying to answer which you might be able to help me with? - Do all of these Thinkpad models listed above use a common EEPROM chip? (e.g. an Atmel 24RF08) - Does the 24RF08 respond unfavorably to I2C 'quick' commands? I.e., commands which stop after the first I2C byte (the address with r/w bit). Our detection script tries to find all I2C busses and then all devices on those busses using the I2C 'quick' command. It then tries to suggest which drivers to use for the platform. It seems that after detection and at the next reboot, the computer reports the errors I mentioned above. We're trying to figure out a way to avoid the possibility of this kind of corruption in the future. Thanks for any help you can provide!
