Hi all. Recently i've got a dual Mainboard and one of the first things i tried was the smbus stuff. I knew that i had to put device smb and device smbus in my kernel configuration file plus a specific driver. After some googl'ing i figured out that i need the ichsmb driver in order to access the chip. So i compiled a kernel with the smb and smp stuff and after rebooting i wondered why i didn't have /dev/smb?. Loading the modules wasn't possible because they were already compiled into the kernel except the ichsmb module which gave me an error that there was no file called "ichsmb.ko" available. Checking /boot/kernel i realized that this was true. After compiling a second time (i updated to 5.3-release meanwhile) the error was still there an no /dev/smb? for me. Looking into the make.conf manpage showed me that i could try with MODULES_OVERRIDE. Trying "make MODULES_OVERRIDE=ichsmb buildkernel KERNCONF=FOO" ended with an error in ichsmb which isn't in /usr/src/sys/modules. Playing around in the sources (trying to copy sys/dev/ichsmb to sys/modules, editing some Makefiles and so on) didn't give me better results. I'm currently compiling a GENERIC Kernel (without SMP) with device smb/smbus/ichsmb but i don't expect to much from it because the module isn't available in a plain GENERIC. You guys are my last hope is there a chance of getting ichsmb somehow compiled or am i doing something wrong? Hope to hear from you real soon, greetings, Jochen Keil
