Great. I'll fix up the makefile. If it says i801smbus is already active, then you didn't need p4b_smbus at all. You should be able to modprobe i2c-i801. If it fails, you probably need the parameter force=1 or the force_addr=xxx parameter. It looks like the driver could use a little fixing up to make this easier and automatically enable without force=1 like we do with other drivers. I'll work on it. mds Pontus Edvardsson wrote: > > Hi, > I have successfully compiled p4b_smbus.o thanks to your mail.
