With the Phenom there was a chip at 0x69 whom I dumped many times. I expected it to be the clock generator. I only have the specs for an similar clock generator and I was not yet able to figure it's registers out. I focuesd on the M2A-VM clock generator yesterday, because i have the specs of that clockgen chip and it is the simplest one.
With the k8 cpu there was no chip at 0x69 according to i2cdetect 0. I was curious if that chip was just not detected and tried to dump that address 'i2cdump 0 0x69". It was not the first time i tried to dump an nonexistent address and the result was the same as with other nonexistend address dumps. Just XX's and no hex values.
However after that test "i2cdetect 0" did no longer show the 0x2e chip and since then i can not get beyond C1.
