Bug Description
Hi there,
I'm getting this tpe of lines with dmesg:
[ 274.924000] applesmc: wait status failed: c != 8
[ 328.416000] applesmc: wait status failed: c != 8
[ 378.072000] applesmc: wait status failed: c != 8
[ 408.960000] applesmc: wait status failed: c != 8
[ 459.000000] applesmc: wait status failed: c != 8
[ 648.496000] applesmc: wait status failed: c != 8
[ 821.572000] applesmc: wait status failed: c != 8
[ 834.412000] applesmc: wait status failed: c != 8
[etc etc]
This is on a MacBook Pro with Kubuntu Feisty updated in 01/03/07 with 2.6.20-13-generic kernel.
I've investigated a little bit and found that applesmc is a driver to control some Intel Mac's stuff, as it says the description:
"This driver provides support for the Apple System Management Controller, which
provides an accelerometer (Apple Sudden Motion Sensor), light sensors,
temperature sensors, keyboard backlight control and fan control. Only
Intel-based Apple's computers are supported (MacBook Pro, MacBook, MacMini)."
The author of the driver is related to Mactel people and seem he has already some patches for it since 19/03, you can find them here: http://
Thanks.
