Problem with i2c-amd756.o

Problem with i2c-amd756.o

[Shriram Ramanathan]

Hi,

I have a dual processor (AMD 1.8 GHz) machine with Redhat Linux installed.
I have this awfully irritating message cropping up on my terminal every
few seconds.

"i2c-amd756.o: Busy wait timeout! (0d00)
i2c-amd756.o: Sending abort."

I dont know how to fix this (I havent tried rebooting the m/c as yet)
Could you tell  me what is going wrong ?

Thanks.

Regards,
shriram

PS : I am a newbie to sysadmin and so might need some
elaboration on this....i.e. if it is not too much of a trouble for you.

something is accessing the bus every few seconds.
If things seem to be working anyway you can comment the messages out in the driver.

Unfortunately the AMD 756 (and siblings) SMBUS does not seem to be
entirely reliable; I have similar problems with it locking up and not
coming back (on a similar machine). You need to disable whatever
is trying to read your hardware sensors; this will either be a GUI
application (a couple of the system monitors do this) or a daemon (e.g.,
sensord).
