Dear listmembers, dear Rudolf, these are my findings after doing what you suggested: please find attached two files. One contains the output cat /proc/ioports plus the result of /usr/sbin/isadump -f 0x80E0 with the Chips being dead, the other one after cycling power and reboot. One remark: when I use the kernel with debugging on, the failures seem to be more rare. I think this could be caused by the fact that all those printk's slow the accesses on the smbus somewhat down. But this is just guessing, nothing serious. Thanks again, take care Dieter Jurzitza -- ----------------------------------------------------------- | \ /\_/\ | | ~x~ |/-----\ / \ /- \_/ ^^__ _ / _ ____ / <??__ \- \_/ | |/ | | || || _| _| _| _| if you really want to see the pictures above - use some font with constant spacing like courier! :-) ----------------------------------------------------------- -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
