Hi Juerg, >> good point -- I relied on informations from the web about >> the Q965 chipset, but I learned that I was wrong! >> >> So: I have a SMSC SCH5514D-NS chip (which is not on the list >> unfortunately). I guess I am stuck now? > > Good information, thanks. At least we can update sensors-detect to > correctly identify your chip. Unfortunately, this being a Dell > machine, SMSC won't provide technical information for this chip to me > since I'm an HP person :-) Ah, I didn't think of such things. I saw on the SMSC webpage that there is information only to a very limited number of chips. > Let's try to figure out if it's compatible to any other supported SMSC > chip before we give up. Can you run 'isadump -k 0x55 0x2e 0x2f 0xa' > and post the output? eh voila: > sudo isadump -k 0x55 0x2e 0x2f 0xa WARNING! Running this program can cause system crashes, data loss and worse! I will probe address register 0x2e and data register 0x2f. Probing bank 10 using bank register 0x07. Continue?
