Hi Richard, > Should I expect to see a 2c, 2d, or 2e in that output? Yup, if the LM96000 was connected to that bus. > As I don't, what does that mean? That the LM96000 isn't there. > Might it mean the chip is connected to some other i2c bus I > havn't found yet, Either that, or the ICH6 SMBus is multiplexed. This is common on Asus boards, but I don't think we ever saw an Intel board do that. > or I need to do something else to enable it, or what? If you do, it has to be board specific so only Intel can tell you. > Might I have done something that made the chip invisible? I don't think so. > I assume I'm correct in thinking that as it doesn't show up in > i2cdetect output, there is no chance of the lm85 driver detecting it. Absolutely. > I also don't know what the i2c devices at 08, 42, 44, 60 and 69 are. > 50 and 52 get picked up by the eeprom driver. 08 and 44 are special addresses for SMBus 2.0 stuff, 69 is most probably a clock chip you so not want to play with. Remains 42 and 60, I have no idea for these (except that these are not typical addresses for hardware monitoring chips). > I'm running an FC3 2.6.10-1.766_FCsmp kernel atm, but I'm guessing > that wouldn't have an impact on i2cdetect output.

Correct again. > The PC87427 has an SMbus slave interface too, and I didn't see > anything that looked like that in the i2cdetect or i2cdump output > either. True again, it would show at 30 or 6c if I trust the preliminary datasheet I have, and these addresses did not work in i2cdetect. So your analysis is correct, I wouldn't have come up with a different conclusion. Your best chance now is probably to ask Intel themselves for help and details on the wiring. Good luck, -- Jean Delvare
