Issues addressed:

APAR IC28922

o Netfinity Director / UM Services erroneously enables the I2C bus 
  driver when installed on a 6000R.
        
        
o Symptoms:
        
  When Netfinity Director / UM Services is installed on a Netfinity
  6000R, the system will generate Advanced System Management Adapter
  log errors indicating that there was a problem communicating to
  device X on the I2C bus. In addition, the system will spontaneously
  reboot intermittently and information about the system status such
  as temperature, memory configuration, or fan speed will not be
  available through the ASM.
