Hi, that two files is as attached, Thank you so much, the author of i5k_amb said:
"Error -16 means that the memory regions that contain the temperature info that
the i5kamb driver reads are busy, which means that there's some other driver
already claiming ownership of the AMB temperature data. Most likely it's the
SMC or something that's monitoring AMB temperature. You could send me the
contents of /proc/meminfo if you want to try to confirm that, but I suspect
you'll have to get DIMM temperature info from the applesmc driver."

then he replied:
“Hmm, that looks ok; can you send me the contents of /proc/iomem as well?I suspect you might see a line that looks something like:
fe000000-fe01ffff : reserved
On my system I get:
fe000000-fe01ffff : i5k_amb
If you see reserved (or really, anything that isn't i5k_amb) then most likely
the BIOS has declared the AMB memory region "off-limits" and you won't be able
to load i5k-amb without extreme measures.
(Extreme measures means disabling the kernel's standard mechanisms for
preventing two pieces of code from trying to own the same piece of hardware.
Not recommended.)

I guess you could try asking the applesmc author if he/she has any patches to
make it work for xserve.“
Thank you so much~

* cat /proc/iomem

The i5k_amb driver could certainly be made a little bit more verbose on
errors for easier diagnostics.
