I took a look at the Oneiric w83795 HW monitoring driver, and it looks like it is trying to read an invalid device address (error code -6 stands for -6). Address 0x43 seems to be related with the alarms (but I could be wrong with this one).
Anyway, after looking at the mainline kernel, I realised that the only commit that is not already in your kernel is commit 72fea694c4208d7ee1704a7dbccddd54af352cde "hwmon: (w83795) Unconditionally support manual fan speed control" Since one of the symptom you're seing is to have the fans at very high speed, I've built an test kernel containing this commit and uploaded it here: http://people.canonical.com/~henrix/lp1050914/v1/amd64/ However, I guess you have not easy way to trigger the problem so it would be difficult for you to test it and say whether it solves the problem or not. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1050914 Title: kernel: [175885.401905] w83795 0-002f: Failed to read from register 0x043, err -6 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1050914/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
