Hi Andrea, Hi Dale,

Before I post my question I did, what you have suggested, Andrea.
Sensors-detect reports the it87 chip to be included as module/in the
kernel, which I did -- but the driver does not produces any output

AMD k10 was already in and reports everything -- only the fan stuff
was missing, which (normall) the ITE (it87) chip is used for.

The version of lm_sensors, which is in portage reports here "driver to
be written" but the svn-version of lm_sensors seems to support it. I
installed that svn-version locally but I cant read from the ITE
chip.
Still only voltages and temperatures.
GKrellm (normally I use conky) also detects no fans.

@Dale:
Do you have exactly the same board (ASUS Crosshair IV formula) as I,
or?

I tried to include "everything" into the kernel but unfortunately the
results are the same: No fans and the it87 driver seems not to work
for me...

Any other ideas?

Best regards and have a nive sunday!

I have a Gigabyte mobo here.  There are two places that you have to
enable all the sensors tho.  As was posted a bit ago, one is I2C
Support and one is Hardware Monitoring Support both of which are under
Device Drivers.  Is it possible that you left one out?

If you built all the drivers in and it didn't work, then you may have
to wait on a newer kernel.  If you are running a stable kernel, you may
want to try a unstable one since they are newer and may have the
updated drivers.  I'm using 2.6.36 gentoo-sources here.

Hope that helps.

Hi Dale,

I enabled CONFIG_HWMON=y and CONFIG_I2C=y, I also see temperatures
and voltages (I still a little confused by what ASUS states of
the CPU-dye temperature of not being a physical temperature but one
of "arbitrary scale"...but this another field to explore...).

My kernel is a 2.36.6.2 vanilla...I didn't found any newer ;) ;) ;)

Seems I am lost ?!?

Best regards,

I built me a new rig in the past week. There are two reasons I don't buy bleeding edge. 1: Cost 2: Drivers not being ready and/or stable. My mobo is about a year old. That is enough time to let the kernel people sort out some nice drivers.

Maybe someone here can point you to a place where you can see if they are being worked on. I'm sure there is a website with all kinds of info. The only one I can think of is http://kernel.org/ which shows a newer version than I have. May could see if they have new ones in them.

Given what lm-sensors says and the fact the ones in the kernel don't work, I'm not sure what else to try.
