WARNING: DO NOT TRY I2C & LMSENSORS ON YOUR THINKPAD, IT WILL PROBABLY HOSE
YOUR EEPROM
15 Jul 2000
There have been two reports (that I know of) of people testing the I2C
support on their ThinkPads (770) after which an EEPROM where vital system
information is stored was corrupted (POST ERROR 188 - EEPROM CRC ERROR).
When this happens you need to go to your nearest IBM service center and have
the main board changed ! As more information becomes available I will post
it here.
