Hi, I need help! I searched and didn't find anything that could help me. I have an IBM desktop computer here, installed with Gentoo/Linux: genta ~ # uname -a Linux genta 2.6.15.1 #5 PREEMPT Wed Feb 15 20:42:34 CET 2006 i686 Pentium III (Katmai) GenuineIntel GNU/Linux genta ~ # lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 440BX/ZX/DX - 82443BX/ZX/DX Host bridge (rev 03) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 440BX/ZX/DX - 82443BX/ZX/DX AGP bridge (rev 03) 00:02.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ISA (rev 02) 00:02.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 IDE (rev 01) 00:02.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 USB (rev 01) 00:02.3 Bridge: Intel Corporation 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ACPI (rev 02) 00:03.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100] (rev 05) ... As i found on the website and the kernel informations, piix4 is supported so lets modprobe it: genta ~ # modprobe i2c-piix4 genta ~ # sensors No sensors found! Hmm ... lets ask dmesg: genta ~ # dmesg ... piix4_smbus 0000:00:02.3: Found 0000:00:02.3 device piix4_smbus 0000:00:02.3: IBM Laptop detected; this module may corrupt your serial eeprom! Refusing to load module! piix4_smbus: probe of 0000:00:02.3 failed with error -1 Help! What's wrong? What can i do? I'm sure that that is NOT a Laptop! ;-) PS: Please remember to remove the NOSPAM information at the email domain. "lontzen.net" is the right email domain. Greetings - Thomas
