wow, a week turned into 2 1/2 months :) sorry for the delay. There is no problem in the i801 block code. The bug is in the lm93 driver. There is no check for success in lm93_read_block(). Therefore every block transaction is called 5 times (MAX_RETRIES). What should have been 9 transactions turned into 45. Rather obvious from the logs (which are still at the link David posted - thanks David). I'll fix lm93. mds Jean Delvare wrote: >>I did the i801 block code. >>I'll take a look at it. >>Give me about a week. > > > Mark, any news? > > Thanks,
