Hi all, the patch is available at http://cedric.pradalier.free.fr/ibook2/index.html By default, it does not change anything to the chip status and only provide an access to the adm103x chip. So it can be used just to see what are the default values on your system. please report any feedback.

Hi, I just tried your patch. It seems to work, at least for acces to the chip, even with a joint driver. Some side effects : First it sets a very high load on the CPU. I wonder if the task is correctly scheduled. I'll have a look at that. It's as if the task monitoring task was

Interesting, maybe you can strip the bits about changing default limits on ADM*. I put these because on ADT*, the limits are quite high by default. Can you try this patch ? Thanks, -- Colin adm_support.diff Description: Binary data

No, it just seems to :) You have a 1.0 load average, that's it ? this is due to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE, which is needed according to Benjamin; however this doesn't eat the cpu power :) Hmmm. Isn't it a problem in load accounting ? Dunno :-( I'll try this. Here's a third patch, which factorizes

Ok, I've done my adm103x module. Thanks a lot to Colin and Frank. Without them it would have been much longer. I first tried to integrate the driver in the adt7c module, according to Colin's patches. But I believe the two chips behaviour does not fit well in a common module. On the

Hi, is you patch ibook specific, or could it also work with the tibook? I have an tibook 1Ghz, where can i read what sensor chip is integrated? I think you could email benjamin herrenschmidt your patch, to have it integrated in his kernel tree. kind regards, mfl -- Michael Flaig (PROLinux)

Here's a third patch, which factorizes things a bit more and isn't reversed as the second one was. Note that I'd like to have the driver split to a separate file Ben.
