On some boards with an Intel PIIX4 the BIOS (such as the one found on a Force CPCI-735) will incorrectly configure the chipset, and leaves a register in an undefined state causing i2c to behave strangley. The following patches (first vs lm_sensors-2.8.0 and then vs 2.6.0-test3) fixes the issue. drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-piix4.c | 9 +++++++++ 1 files changed, 9 insertions(+) diff -Nru a/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-piix4.c b/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-piix4.c --- a/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-piix4.c Fri Aug 15 11:27:13 2003 +++ b/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-piix4.c Fri Aug 15 11:27:13 2003 @@ -160,6 +160,15 @@ } pci_read_config_byte(PIIX4_dev, SMBHSTCFG, &temp); + + /* Some BIOS will set up the chipset incorrectly and leave a register + in an undefined state (causing I2C to act very strangely). */ + if (temp & 0x02) { + printk("Fixed I2C problem on Force CPCI735\n"); + temp = temp & 0xfd; + pci_write_config_byte(PIIX4_dev, SMBHSTCFG, temp); + } + /* If force_addr is set, we program the new address here.
