Did some testing & checking the envctrl sources, I found out it got to be the bbc parts for the SunBLADE-1000. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=tree;f=drivers/sbus/char;hb=HEAD Next I did boot into 2.6.28-6-sparc64-smp but modprobe show's the -22 error while loading the bbc module and does not slow down the fans. Oct 24 16:35:20 sunbladesrv249 kernel: [ 994.142927] i2c-0: Regs at 000007fe7e00002e, 8 devices, own a0, clock 10. Oct 24 16:35:20 sunbladesrv249 kernel: [ 994.145987] bbc_i2c: probe of f007f00c failed with error -22 So that's faling. I just did upgrade to Sun IEEE Boot Prom 'OBP 4.16.4 2004/12/18 05:18', to be sure but isn't solving my problem. Did you start a bug ticket yet?
