[gentoo-user] coretemp and smartbatt drivers for lm_sensors
Hello, I am trying to configure lm_sensors and sensors-detect identified these two modules I don't know how to build. smartbatt coretemp I tried many config options when rebuilding the kernel 2.6.27.12 (vanilla-sources) but no luck in building the modules. Looking in the kernel sources doc I can see the coretemp module but can't find the corresponding config parameter in menuconfig. As for smartbatt, this is what is available in the source tree: ./drivers/acpi/.battery.o.cmd ./drivers/acpi/battery.c ./drivers/acpi/battery.o ./drivers/power/ds2760_battery.c ./drivers/power/palmtx_battery.c ./drivers/power/olpc_battery.c ./drivers/power/tosa_battery.c ./drivers/power/pmu_battery.c ./include/config/acpi/battery.h Thanks for any help. -- Valmor

As for smartbatt, this is what is available in the source tree: From any menu in make menuconfig, you can type '/' and enter a search string. Menuconfig will list all instances where it finds that string in item headings. coretemp is there. smartbatt is found at CONFIG_ACPI_SBS, you can search for that string -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

On my computer, for example, it detected the wrong chipsets which sort of worked (gave wrong/incomplete readings). I had to manually tell it which sensor chipset my motherboard uses.

Thanks for this search info. CORETEMP is there under the search but the enabling option is apparently not there; or I don't know how to make it appear. It looks like I am missing the option Intel Core (2) Duo/Solo temperature sensor in the Hardware Monitoring Support. smartbatt is found at CONFIG_ACPI_SBS, you can search for that string I've had that enabled to be compiled into the kernel. I will change to M and check whether the module is created. Thanks, -- Valmor

I got i2c_i801.ko and coretemp.ko created and loaded in the kernel. The CONFIG_ACPI_SBS=m parameter creates two modules: sbs.ko and sbshc.ko; modprobe sbs loades both; hence no smartbatt. The relevant section from sensors-detect output is Next adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at 18a0 (i2c-0) Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): YES Client found at address 0x0b Probing for `Smart Battery'... Success! (confidence 5, driver `smartbatt') Client found at address 0x19 Probing for `Analog Devices ADM1021'... No Probing for `Analog Devices ADM1021A/ADM1023'...No Probing for `Maxim MAX1617'... No Probing for `Maxim MAX1617A'... No Probing for `Maxim MAX1668'... No Probing for `Maxim MAX1805'... No and it calls for smartbatt. Instead I loaded sbs.ko. The current output of sensors is - sensors coretemp-isa- Adapter: ISA adapter Core 0: +56°C (high = +100°C) Should the output show also info on the battery? Am I still missing something configuring ls_sensors? Thanks, -- Valmor
