[opensuse] Flood of "Transaction timeout" Messages in /var/log/messages [resend]
Hi, No one has any experience with or knowledge of this phenomenon? My /var/log/messages is entirely overrun with these messages! -==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==- A new message, repeated often and, it seems, interminably, has started appearing in my /var/log/messages file: May 25 06:52:15 208-201-233-232 kernel: i801_smbus 0000:00:1f.3: Transaction timeout Based on the compressed log files, this started happening yesterday. The volume of these messages is such that the log file rolling threshold is now being reached daily, where as in the past it was more like three weeks per compressed log file. Does anyone know what this is? Why it just started appearing? How to fix whatever problem it represents? Google was unhelpful.

Hi Randall, Does this thread contain anything useful? http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/i2c/2008-June/003978.html Google 'hits' do seem to be leaning towards lmsensors (search phrase "i801_smbus Transaction timeout") regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well, that much I gathered. And I did the same search and a variety of others, but nothing I've found seems to correspond to my symptom. That's why I asked here, to see if anyone had encountered it themselves.
regards,
Carl

I tried running sensors-detect and it hung at the point where it was probing the i801 registers. I finally hypothesized that maybe some hardware got wedged, so I rebooted (including a power-cycle). The messages are no longer appearing (they were coming about once per second!) So I guess this was a sporadic hardware glitch. Probably one of those damned cosmic ray secondary showers...
