If the details make sense, we'll continue. Hopefully this is good news (W83627THF found but not activated) Some Super I/O chips may also contain sensors. Super I/O probes are typically a bit more dangerous, as we have to write to I/O ports to do this. Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no): Probing for `ITE 8712F Super IO Sensors' Failed! (0xe911) Probing for `SMSC 47M10x Super IO Fan Sensors' Failed! (0xe9) Probing for `SMSC 47M14x Super IO Fan Sensors' Failed! (0xe9) Probing for `VT1211 Super IO Sensors' Failed!

Just press ENTER to continue: Driver `eeprom' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * Bus `SMBus AMD756 adapter at 80e0' (Non-I2C SMBus adapter) Busdriver `i2c-amd756', I2C address 0x52 Chip `SPD EEPROM' (confidence: 8) * Bus `SMBus AMD756 adapter at 80e0' (Non-I2C SMBus adapter) Busdriver `i2c-amd756', I2C address 0x53 Chip `SPD EEPROM' (confidence: 8) Driver `bmcsensors' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * ISA bus address 0x0ca0 (Busdriver `i2c-isa') Chip `IPMI BMC KCS' (confidence: 4) > > If you did not do so yet, you can also try "isadump 0x295 0x296".

Running this program can cause system crashes, data loss and worse! I will probe address register 0x0295 and data register 0x0296.
