I have a Dell PowerEdge SC440 here and I'm not having much luck with smbmsg:

# smbmsg -p
Probing for devices on /dev/smb0:

[ lots and lots of 'ichsmb0: device timeout, status=0x41' ]

As far as I can see, I've got all the relevant devices built into the kernel 
(from kldstat -v: ichsmb/smbus, pci/ichsmb, iicbus/iicsmb, smbus/smb, 
intsmb/smbus, pci/intsmb).

This is a Dell-branded motherboard, so I've no idea what it's based on.

The boot message shows 'ichsmb0: <Intel 82801GB (ICH7) SMBus controller>'.

Cheers,

--Jon
