I see lots of bug reports about this in several linux OSs but not able to see a solution.
I've make the propers kernel settings and the w83627hf modules is built and available in /lib/modules/* I tried rebuilding the kernel with that stuff built-in. but then lm_sensors couldn't even find tools to work with when running sensors-detect So calling `sensors' just in case it would work: # sensors No sensors found! Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need. Try sensors-detect to find out which these are. Back to a modular kernel: lm_sensors tells me that w83627hf is the one to load in /etc/conf.d/lm_sensors. But any attempt to load it meets with this result (wrapped for mail): modprobe w83627hf FATAL: Error inserting w83627hf (/lib/modules/2.6.33-gentoo/kernel/drivers/hwmon/w83627hf.ko): Device or resource busy Looking at dmesg after running the above command, I find lines like these (repeated several times): [ 1321.715673] w83627hf: Found W83627THF chip at 0x290 [ 1321.715712] ACPI: I/O resource w83627hf [0x295-0x296] conflicts with ACPI region HWMT [0x295-0x296] [ 1321.715716] ACPI: If an ACPI driver is available for this device, you should use it instead of the native driver ------- --------- ---=--- --------- -------- So anyone know what is wrong here?
