The documentation reports that the machine indeed has a lm80 chip in it. This controls the RPM of the fan speed etc. Removing the IBM check code from the i2c-piix4 didn't break anything ;-) since i powered it off/on and it worked fine. This is the same result if I use the 2.7.0 drivers with the IBM check disabled. Yes, I ment two i2c devices ;-) I set the fan divisor by 4 and i get RPMs but they are eratic in speed (which may be normal according to the IBM docs which say that the RPM speed may vary). The documentation is available on IBM's site for the IBM 300PL series of machines. They even mention the address of the lm80 location Here's a mirror: http://www.verex.at/aktion/PL300-66862-tech-manual.pdf "The LM80 physically resides on the SMbus interface. The device address for the LM80 is 0x50. The Intel chipset is a PIIX4E. What it monitors: - System temperature sensing and fan control. - Voltages: +5v, +12v, +3.3v, +1.5, +2.5v, -5v. - Chassis intrusion detection even powered off. I hope this helps you ;-) Shawn.
