When try to boot on a black screen is presented inscription:
nForce2_smbus 0000:00:01.1: Error probing SMB2.

Sometimes after it is present white screen, and the system stops responding, or start checks disks. Sometimes the load is continued normally.

Almost the same problem with Lucid Beta 2 and kernel updated to 2.6.32-21.
Error messages:
cat /var/log/dmesg | grep nForce
[ 0.351578] cpufreq-nforce2: No nForce2 chipset.
[ 15.016439] i2c i2c-0: nForce2 SMBus adapter at 0x4d00

It does not seem to cause problems in work? but makes boot process twice longer/

I confirm this on my ASRock ION 330 (which features some nVidia 9400 chipset.

[amano (jyaku)]

To clarify the behaviour: I can confirm just error. Other problems (not booting, fschk hangs,..) seem unrelated.

I get a blinking cursor for about 10 seconds, then I see the "error probing smb2" for 2 seconds and then I see plymouth for 2 seconds which is followed by GDM then.

I too have problems with the standard nouveau driver. I can get it to work just after being offered the x-failsafe option. If I go with the first choice (low settings for this boot), everything is ok. Booting with the binary blobs is fine as well.

I attach 2 logs: Xorg.failsafe.log deals with booting using the nouveau driver, Xorg.5.log deals with booting using the nVidia blob.

Same situation here on motherboard ASUS M3N78-VM with Mythbuntu 10.04 (incl all updates).
Kernel message at startup: nForce2_smbus 0000:00:01.1: Error probing SMB2.

Is tihs a reason, that Nvidia nouveau does not work either, various Xorg.confs tested.
 Always get a: "Failed to initialize the NVIDIA gaphics device"

Xorg.1.log in VESA / failsafe mode: Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)

Attaching Xorg.0.log
