Comment 4 for bug 1251816

The 3.9 kernels work and the 3.10 kernels fail to boot.

In addition to the above kernels you listed, I tried the last 3.9 and the first 3.10 based on the directory date listings at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/.

Boots OK:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9.11-saucy/

Fails to boot:

via686a 0000:00:07.4: base address not set - upgrade BIOS or use force_addr=0xaddr
Reading through https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/hwmon/via686a it is a fan control issue and "Addresses scanned: ISA in PCI-space encoded address". The kernel doc suggests to only try "Example: 'modprobe via686a force_addr=0x6000'" if one can't find an updated BIOS: but doesn't tell me how I find the correct address. The two variable speeds seem to be working OK. I checked the vendors website and emailed Sagar to ask about an updated BIOS.

lshw shows:
          description: BIOS
          vendor: Phoenix
          physical id: 0
          version: 4.06CJ15
          date: 10/18/2001
