[JD: Update the subject
     One more typo fixed
     Drop the link to lm-sensors' README, it's irrelevant]

crashes, data corruption, etc.). Try this only as a last resort (try BIOS
updates first, for example), and backup first! An even more dangerous
option is 'force_addr=<IOPORT>'. This will not only enable the PIIX4 like
'force' foes, but it will also set a new base I/O port address. The SMBus
'force' does, but it will also set a new base I/O port address. The SMBus
parts of the PIIX4 needs a range of 8 of these addresses to function
correctly. If these addresses are already reserved by some other device,
you will get into big trouble! DON'T USE THIS IF YOU ARE NOT VERY SURE

1) Use ``lspci`` command and locate the PCI device with the SMBus controller:

2) Now you just need to change the value in 0xD2 register. Get it first with
command: lspci -xxx -s 00:0f.0
command: ``lspci -xxx -s 00:0f.0``
If the value is 0x3 then you need to change it to 0x1:
setpci -s 00:0f.0 d2.b=1
``setpci -s 00:0f.0 d2.b=1``
Please note that you don't need to do that in all cases, just when the SMBus is
not working properly.

Thinkpad laptops, but desktop systems may also be affected. We have no list
of all affected systems, so the only safe solution was to prevent access to
the SMBus on all IBM systems (detected using DMI data.)
