All, According to google, the SIO is a SMSC EMC2700P. I don't have a datasheet for this chip and doubt that SMSC will provide one given that this is a Dell machine. Without a datasheet, there's nothing we can do. Uh-huh, missed that one :-) You have a chip @ 0x2e. Run 'i2cdump 0 0x2e' and send the output to the list. Maybe it looks familiar to somebody. Per google, it's an LPC47M534. Don't know that chip. You can try force-loading the LM85 driver and check if you get anything useful. --- Here is the output from i2cdump. Does anyone see anything? Here is the output from i2cdump 0 0x2e: No size specified (using byte-data access) WARNING! This program can confuse your I2C bus, cause data loss and worse! I will probe file /dev/i2c-0, address 0x2e, mode byte Continue?
