Linuxcnc wont run smi fix was created by macona

Got a new P4 SMB for the industrial rack I am using. Runs really good, well, except for the smi spike every 64 seconds. It is a ICH4 (82801DB) chipset. I tried doing the fix, adding the lines necessary as per the page on it but it does not load.

Any ideas? Or will this even be noticeable with the 5i25 doing the pulsing?

It is a ICH4 (82801DB) chipset.

Only revisions 0 and 12 are affected by the SMI problem.
www.linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/forum...me-latency-solutions

Please attach a print from lspci -vv ( do lspci -vv > lspci.txt and attach that , 2 x v not 1 x w)

If the module loads and finds the chipset is not one it covers, it just unloads again

You should find an error message in dmesg

If you read the post at the bottom of the FAQ www.linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/forum...ency-solutions#36807
you will see that I had a similar problem, that was not SMI, and was resolved by ensuring fan control in particular was set so that no checking was done.

Or will this even be noticeable with the 5i25 doing the pulsing?

Overall average latency will be less important, but you still don't want big spikes
