Public bug reported:
Hello,
I'm trying to get the mainboard sensors and the pwm fancontrol to work.
However, sensors-detect and pwmconfig don't recognize the right chip
(see below). I'm using ubuntu 9.10.
I'm using the following hardware:
Asus P6T SE
Intel i7 950
12 GB of RAM
When I try to load the driver which is supposed to work with my mb (w83627ehf),
I get this error:
FATAL: Error inserting w83627ehf
(/lib/modules/2.6.31-14-generic/kernel/drivers/hwmon/w83627ehf.ko): Device or
resource busy
After some research on google, I noticed that there are problems with
the acpi drivers and the 2.6.31 kernel. So I did dmesg|grep -i acpi and
got the following lines which seem to be related to my problem:
=======
[ 79.459402] ACPI: I/O resource 0000:00:1f.3 [0x400-0x41f] conflicts with
ACPI region SMRG [0x400-0x40f]
[ 79.459406] ACPI: If an ACPI driver is available for this device, you should
use it instead of the native driver
[ 99.474169] ACPI: I/O resource w83627ehf [0x295-0x296] conflicts with ACPI
region HWRE [0x290-0x299]
[ 99.474173] ACPI: If an ACPI driver is available for this device, you should
use it instead of the native driver
=======
Expected behavior: sensors should recognize the chip (if possible even
without having to configure lm-sensors manually) and (after the whole
configuration procedure) the fan should slow down a little bit (it is
awfully loud)
==========================================

This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need
to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe
and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions,
unless you know what you're doing.
We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters.
Do you want to probe now? (YES/no):
Probing for PCI bus adapters...
Use driver `i2c-i801' for device 0000:00:1f.3: Intel ICH10
We will now try to load each adapter module in turn.
Load `i2c-i801' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no):
Module loaded successfully.
If you have undetectable or unsupported I2C/SMBus adapters, you can have
them scanned by manually loading the modules before running this script.
To continue, we need module `i2c-dev' to be loaded.
Do you want to load `i2c-dev' now? (YES/no):
Module loaded successfully.
We are now going to do the I2C/SMBus adapter probings. Some chips may
be double detected; we choose the one with the highest confidence
value in that case.
If you found that the adapter hung after probing a certain address,
you can specify that address to remain unprobed.
Next adapter: NVIDIA i2c adapter (i2c-0)
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively):
Client found at address 0x50
Probing for `Analog Devices ADM1033'... No
Probing for `Analog Devices ADM1034'... No
Probing for `SPD EEPROM'... No
Probing for `EDID EEPROM'... Yes
(confidence 8, not a hardware monitoring chip)
Next adapter: NVIDIA i2c adapter (i2c-1)
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively):
Next adapter: NVIDIA i2c adapter (i2c-2)
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively):
Some chips are also accessible through the ISA I/O ports. We have to
write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe though.
Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any ISA slots!
Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (YES/no):
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' at 0x290... No
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78-J' at 0x290... No
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM79' at 0x290... No
Probing for `Winbond W83781D' at 0x290... No
Probing for `Winbond W83782D' at 0x290... No
Probing for `IPMI BMC KCS' at 0xca0... No
Probing for `IPMI BMC SMIC' at 0xca8... No
Some Super I/O chips may also contain sensors. We have to write to
standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe.
Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no):
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f
Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No
Trying family `SMSC'... No
Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Fintek'... Yes
Found unknown chip with ID 0xa513
(logical device B has address 0x290, could be sensors)
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x4e/0x4f
Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No
Trying family `SMSC'... No
Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Fintek'... No
Trying family `ITE'... No
Some south bridges, CPUs or memory controllers may also contain
embedded sensors. Do you want to scan for them? (YES/no):
Silicon Integrated Systems SIS5595... No
VIA VT82C686 Integrated Sensors... No
VIA VT8231 Integrated Sensors... No
AMD K8 thermal sensors... No
AMD K10 thermal sensors... No
Intel Core family thermal sensor... No
Intel AMB FB-DIMM thermal sensor... No
Sorry, no sensors were detected.
Either your sensors are not supported, or they are connected to an
I2C or SMBus adapter that is not supported. See
http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/FAQ/Chapter3 for further information.
If you find out what chips are on your board, check
http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices for driver status.
