Thanks for the freedom, Jim.

For an LTSP network where all the clients show this client boot
error, can I
sudo gedit /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
then add
blacklist i2c_piix4
to the blacklist and save,
then
sudo ltsp-build-client --arch i386
to rebuild my LTSP client image?
Is that likely to fix the problem?

P.S. I have been on mail lists where the convention was to reply
with new material at the top of the email, others where they
wanted all posts in plain text (no rich text or HTML), and I think
others where they wanted all posts trimmed of previous material.
One person on this list declared that the accepted practice here
was to add new material to the bottom of the email, following all
the older material. Can anyone confirm or deny?
This mailing list has no "official" way of posting. As far as I'm
concerned, if someone wants to take the time to comment on an email,
and hopefully offer help, they can post any way they like.
top,bottom,inline, whatever. We're all smart enough to figure out the
thread.
Personally, I prefer the top-most thing to be the answer, unless
there's several questions, then I prefer to post my answers inline
just below each question.
My attitude on top vs bottom vs inline posting is certainly going to
draw some criticism but that's Ok. I'd still prefer the content to be
the most important thing, not the style.

Addendum: Even though I reference Lubuntu 12.04, I find that the
behavior is exactly the same under Edubuntu 12.04.

A refined request:
The research that I have done on this has not shown that this
condition ever did any harm. So instead of asking how to enable
the controller somehow, I would now ask: How can I modify the
image being downloaded to the terminal so that the error does
not appear? For instance, can I blacklist a module in the image?

Hi, all.
Continuing to work through my newbie questions on my first LTSP
setup:
After Lubuntu 12.04 has begun booting on an eMachines iTower
500i client, it generates the error:
/piix4_smbus 0000:00:0.7.3: Host SMBus controller not enabled/
But it continues booting and, so far as I can tell at the
moment, everything works.
When the machine is then shut down or rebooted, a similar
message appears:
/saned disabled; edit /etc/default/saned/
/Host SMBus controller not enabled/
Even if everything works, these are disturbing messages.
Some online posts associate these messages with various things
that don't work, so it may be that I simply have not discovered
the damage yet.
For situations not involving LTSP, a couple sources prescribe
adding
/blacklist i2c_piix4/
to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
I did this on the LTSP server, but whatever the effect on the
server, it did not solve the problem on the client.
Other sources also recommend upgrading the BIOS to solve this
problem. They note that some BIOS implementations leave the
SMBus controller disabled by default. I did upgrade the BIOS
on the eMachines, but it did not fix the problem, and I did not
recognize any BIOS settings that might allow me to enable the
SMBus controller.
I think that the error reports refer to the state of the
eMachines PC, since another LTSP client does not generate the
error.
Anyone recognize this problem and have a solution?
