I think this is caused entirely by trying to read hardware that isn't present. The applesmc driver does not have a comprehensive up-to-date list of apple hardware. In particular on my MacBook Pro (v3, Santa Rosa), the kernel message is generated by trying to read its outputs: cat /sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/temp1_input cat /sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/temp6_input cat /sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/temp7_input cat /sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/temp12_input with the error: applesmc: wait status failed: 5 != 10
The messages are also generated every time I run 'sensors' (because I configured it to use applesmc). Sometimes, one of the sensors that is present also fails, in which case the kernel message is: applesmc: wait status failed: c != 18 (The above observations made with 2.6.22, not checked to be same with 2.6.24) Several other values of 'a != b' appear in the logs under 2.6.22 and 2.6.24, I'm not sure what causes them. In particular, '5 != 4' and 'c != 8' about 100 seconds after bootup (under both kernels). -- applesmc: wait status failed: c != 8 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/102270 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
