Hi! I was trying to get I2C/lm_sensors running on one of our "refurbished" servers, but ran into freezes while loading the i2c-piix driver. Here's some basic info: Kernel: 2.4.23 with modularized i2c/lm_sensors 2.8.1 or 2.6.0test11 with builtin i2c/lm_sensors Motherboard: Tyan Thunder LE-t (S2518) (flashed with the latest bios (1.09)) lspci states: 00:00.0 Host bridge: ServerWorks CNB20LE Host Bridge (rev 06) 00:00.1 Host bridge: ServerWorks CNB20LE Host Bridge (rev 06) 00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL (rev 27) 00:04.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100] (rev 08) 00:05.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100] (rev 08) 00:0f.0 ISA bridge: ServerWorks OSB4 South Bridge (rev 50) 00:0f.1 IDE interface: ServerWorks OSB4 IDE Controller Currently running with SMP (two P3 1266 Mhz processors) and HIGHMEM (3 GB ram) support. As soon as I load the i2c-piix driver, it seems as if the userland commits suicide: Local console is dead (numlock works though), the box still responds to icmp messages and accepts new tcp-connections on previously-openend ports (e.g. ssh) (although no daemon actually responds on that port) You can find the kernel output before the freeze at http://amd.co.at/images/i2c-bug.jpg Is this something which can be fixed in the driver or is the BIOS fubar'ed? Do you need any further information? best regards and thanks in advance, michael
