Re: E450 Fan tray noise
OK I've delved into this a bit deeper...
It looks like there was a patch to the envctrl driver way back in 2.2.16
which changed the way the driver found the environment controls on the sbus.
- if (!strcmp(edev->prom_name, "SUNW,envctrl"))
+ if (!strcmp(edev->prom_name, "i2c")) {
My Prom returns the names the old way, like this...
ebus0: [auxio] [power] [SUNW,pll] [sc] [se] [su] [su] [ecpp] [fdthree]
[eeprom] [flashprom] [SUNW,envctrl]
So it seems the driver isn't finding the hardware. Prom version problem
perhaps?
PROMLIB: Sun IEEE Boot Prom 3.12.3 1998/12/04 14:20
Is there anyone with an E450 for whom envctrl works?
