Try this only as a last resort (try BIOS updates first, for example), and backup first! An even more dangerous option is 'force_addr=<IOPORT>'. This will not only enable the PIIX4 like -'force' foes, but it will also set a new base I/O port address. The SMBus +'force' does, but it will also set a new base I/O port address. The SMBus parts of the PIIX4 needs a range of 8 of these addresses to function correctly. If these addresses are already reserved by some other device, you will get into big trouble!
