Hello all,
Hoping you can help me here. I can't find anything on this module in the "book" and very little about here in searching the forum.
I installed alsa on a laptop to get sound going. After the alsa install, the boot listing always gives a warning about Piix4_smbus module may erase serial rom, module not loaded.
While it is completely safe since the module does not load, I still wanted to know if there is a way to edit something so it never tries to load the module in the first place. This only happens after the installation of the alsa extension, so I am thinking that somehow impacted the way the system boots and it wants to load this Piix4_smbus module.
Is there a way for me to edit this out of the booting sequence? If so where in the book might I find more details about how to go about this?
Thanks in advance. You folks have been wonderful so far.

Boot with 'showapps pause' boot codes and see what extension is causing this.

The message shows up after that last application is listed. Regardless of how many I add, it always comes at the end.
It started showing up immediately after I loaded the alsa exntension.

Show us your bootsync.sh and bootlocal.sh
-
bootlocal.sh
#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/etc/init.d/alsasound start
# put other system startup commands here
_______________________________________________
bootsync.sh
#!/bin/sh
# put other system startup commands here, the boot process will wait until they complete
# Use bootlocal.sh for system startup commands that can run in background
# and therefore not slow down the boot process
/usr/bin/sethostname box
/opt/bootlocal.sh &
________________________________________________
There are my current bootlocal.sh and bootsync.sh listings. Nothing seems out of the ordinary.

/usr/local/etc/init.d/alsasound start is probably not required in tc-5.x
The info file indicates the use of sudo prior to the above command if used and used with the sleep ? command
lots of options here

Yeah, but I am not using TC v5.x
I am having to use TC v4.7.6 in order to get the ham radio related extensions to work. They are not available in the 5.x versions.
I am really just interested in where to find the script that I can edit out the Pii4x_smbus load command. The system works just fine without the module loaded and I would rather not have the bright white alert show up during boot.
Any ideas?

You can blacklist the module, by adding the bootcode "blacklist=piix4_smbus", without quotes.
