Hello, Following an interesting discussion about temperature monitoring on this mailing list, I decided to try this on a machine with the Gigabyte K8-NF-9 motherboard (the only machine which I can get a /dev/smb0 device on). It runs 6.1-stable: root@kg-fil# uname -a FreeBSD kg-fil.kg4.no 6.1-STABLE FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE #8: Sun May 7 22:51:56 CEST 2006 root@kg-fil.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/FIL60 amd64 I load the following modules: root@kg-fil# kldload ichsmb root@kg-fil# kldload smb which gives this output in /var/log/messages: Jul 27 16:31:58 kg-fil kernel: ichsmb0: <SMBus controller> port 0xe800-0xe81f,0x 1c00-0x1c3f,0x1c40-0x1c7f irq 20 at device 1.1 on pci0 Jul 27 16:31:58 kg-fil kernel: ichsmb0: [GIANT-LOCKED] Jul 27 16:31:58 kg-fil kernel: smbus0: <System Management Bus> on ichsmb0 Jul 27 16:32:16 kg-fil kernel: smb0: <SMBus generic I/O> on smbus0 But when I try 'smbmsg -p' I get this in /var/log/messages: Jul 27 16:32:31 kg-fil kernel: ichsmb0: device timeout, status=0x00 Jul 27 16:33:02 kg-fil last message repeated 123 times Jul 27 16:33:27 kg-fil last message repeated 100 times Hmm, it doesn't look like it is working properly. I also tried loading smb first and ichsmb last, but nothing changes. -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norway
