Public bug reported:
Hi,
I'm running the latest packages of Ubuntu-Feisty as of March 6th, 2007. Kernel
is the default one of this date:
====================================================
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc# uname -a
Linux xen 2.6.20-9-generic #2 SMP Mon Feb 26 03:01:44 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
====================================================
I installed lm_sensors package to get some info about what's going on on
my harfware. I then used sensors-detect to see which chips I have.
Here's the summary output.
==========================================
Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Just press ENTER to continue:
Driver `eeprom' (should be inserted):
Detects correctly:
* Bus `SMBus I801 adapter at 0400'
Busdriver `i2c-i801', I2C address 0x50
Chip `eeprom' (confidence: 6)
* Bus `SMBus I801 adapter at 0400'
Busdriver `i2c-i801', I2C address 0x52
Chip `eeprom' (confidence: 6)
EEPROMs are *NOT* sensors! They are data storage chips commonly
found on memory modules (SPD), in monitors (EDID), or in some
laptops, for example.
Driver `w83627ehf' (should be inserted):
Detects correctly:
* ISA bus address 0x0290 (Busdriver `i2c-isa')
Chip `Winbond W83627DHG Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9)
I will now generate the commands needed to load the required modules.
Just press ENTER to continue:
To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add these lines to
/etc/modules:
#----cut here----
# I2C adapter drivers
i2c-i801
# Chip drivers
eeprom
w83627ehf
#----cut here----
Do you want to add these lines to /etc/modules automatically? (yes/NO)
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc#
===============================================
Then I used modprobe to probe the modules:
==============================
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc# modprobe i2c-i801
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc# modprobe eeprom
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc# modprobe w83627ehf
FATAL: Error inserting w83627ehf
(/lib/modules/2.6.20-9-generic/kernel/drivers/hwmon/w83627ehf.ko): No such
device
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc#
==============================
As you see, the w83627ehf module should have found the onboard sensor
chip, but it doesn't. The end result is that I don't have any sensor
info.
I read in some newsgroups that there's a patch for this driver to work
OK on P5B's, which was in 2.6.18 mm tree of the kernel. I don't know if
it was merged into this 2.6.20 ubuntu kernel. Please let me know if I'm
missing something here.
Best regards,
Emre
