In /var/log/kernel/warnings I always see mentions such as these:

Apr 27 10:07:18 dvg kernel: i2c-isa.o version 2.6.4 (20020719)

Apr 27 10:10:23 dvg kernel: reset. (sorry!)

Apr 27 10:11:47 dvg kernel: reset. (sorry!)

 

In /var/log/kernel/errors I always see mentions such as these:

 

Apr 27 10:07:18 dvg kernel: i2c-piix4.o: SMBus detected and initialized

Apr 27 10:07:18 dvg kernel: i2c-piix4.o: Bus collision! SMBus may be

locked until next hard

Apr 27 10:08:22 dvg last message repeated 3 times

 

I am running Mandrake 9.0 on kernel 2.4.19.32-secure and have lm-sensors

enabled for gkrellm (don't know if this is relevant, only guessing).

 

My questions are: is this normal or is this bad, what causes it and how

can I avoid it?

 

Any ideas appreciated.

Thanks for your answer.

 

Stupid me,

:evil:

I realized a few days later that many were indeed sensor module messages. I reconfigured with the new package in the 9.1 distribution and got rid of the collisions. However the ¨kernel reset (sorry!)¨ seems definitely unrelated (The ip_ just happened at the same time).

 

I should appreciate it if anyone knows more about it.

 

Ciao,
