Subject:   Help needed configuring kernel to support IIC/SMBUS

Hi,

I have been trying to configure a kernel so I can use the hardware 
monitors on my new system. I know I need some combination of SMBUS and 
IIC, but all the variations I have tried have failed.

The mainboard is an MSI K7T266 Pro 2, which has a VIA 8233 chip on it 
which I believe has I2C capabilities.

I've currently got:

device           smbus
device           smb
device           iicbus
device           ic
device           iic
device           iicsmb

in my kernel, but it doesn't detect anything on /dev/smb0 or smb1 
devices. Nothing shows in dmesg either.

I had the line:

device          pcf0 at isa? port 0x320 irq 5

in there at one point, and it detected a Philips I2C chip, but then 
hung, so I disabled it again.

Any help would be appreciated. I've searched the net over and over, and 
not found anything.

Cheers,

Andy
