Are you talking about the IO-address used by the sensors logical device of the super/io chip, or about ... ? Does your driver need to enable the sensors part on those MSI mobo's? Then maybe it also needs to search for a free io-space and program that into to superio config registers for the sensors logical device, before enabling it. If its already enabled, maybe its memory-mapped instead of io-mapped, some super-io devices support this. Or maybe even, its mapped to the smbus instead? Regards, Hans
