Logs spammed with errors for "w83795" and "i801_smbus"

Sep 23 14:56:00 Mk4Alpha kernel: w83795 0-002f: Failed to read from register 0x03c, err -16
Sep 23 14:56:00 Mk4Alpha kernel: i801_smbus 0000:00:1f.3: SMBus is busy, can't use it!
Sep 23 14:57:10 Mk4Alpha kernel: w83795 0-002f: Failed to set bank to 2, err -16

After a few minutes of restarting the server, I run into those above errors being spammed in my logs. This causes the UI to become quite a bit slower, and sometimes unresponsive as well. From looking into it, it seems like it might be something to do with IPMI/Sensors-lm. I removed my IPMI plugin, but the errors still seem to be accumulating quickly...

 

 

Any suggestions?

Look for a bios update, also you should always post the complete diagnostics as it might give more clues.

BIOS has been up-to-date, latest version. This error just started poppin up recently, with no hardware changes. It happened on 6.5.x and still is happening on 6.6.0 release. I'll look into the complete diag and sanitize it and post later tonight. Thanks for the suggestion!

It's likely related to the newer kernel, a newer version or bios update when available will likely fix it.
