Hi. Thanks for the reply. Below is as much information as I can find from the system whenever I try to run sensors-detect. Although it seems to find the VT82C686, it apparently can't enable it. I haven't tried any of the forcexxx options to modprobe, mostly because I don't have a clue what addresses I should feed it with. Of course, for all I know, Compaq in their infinite wisdom didn't feel inclined to put any sensors on the motherboard at all, and I might be wasting your time (I couldn't identify any other motherboard chips as sensors from your list, but that might be just my poor eyesight). But if it doesn't, you might record that in your FAQ and save wasting anyone else's time. Thanks, .....Ron (output from assorted programs and logs follows) Output of sensors-detect : ========================== This program will help you to determine which I2C/SMBus modules you need to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. You need to have installed lm-sensors modules before you can use some functions of this utility. Also, you need to be `root', or at least have access to the /dev/i2c[-/]* files for some things. If you have patched your kernel and have some drivers built-in you can safely answer NO if asked to load some modules. In this case, things may seem a bit confusing, but they will still work. IF THIS IS AN IBM THINKPAD, PRESS CTRL-C NOW! IBM Thinkpads have a severely broken i2c/SMBus implementation, just scanning the bus will break your thinkpad forever! We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters. You do not need any special privileges for this. Do you want to probe now? (YES/no): YES Probing for PCI bus adapters... Use driver `i2c-viapro' for device 00:14.4: VIA Technologies VT82C686 Apollo ACPI Use driver `i2c-riva' for device 01:00.0: RIVA UVTNT2 Probe succesfully concluded. We will now try to load each adapter module in turn. Load `i2c-viapro' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): YES /lib/modules/2.4.17-khufu-freeswan-2/misc/i2c-viapro.o: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters /lib/modules/2.4.17-khufu-freeswan-2/misc/i2c-viapro.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.17-khufu-freeswan-2/misc/i2c-viapro.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.17-khufu-freeswan-2/misc/i2c-viapro.o: insmod i2c-viapro failedLoading failed ()... skipping. Load `i2c-riva' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): YES modprobe: Can't locate module i2c-riva Loading failed ()... skipping. ** Note: i2c-riva module is available at ** http://drama.obuda.kando.hu/~fero/cgi-bin/rivatv.shtml Do you now want to be prompted for non-detectable adapters? (yes/NO): NO To continue, we need module `i2c-dev' to be loaded. If it is built-in into your kernel, you can safely skip this. i2c-dev is already loaded. We are now going to do the adapter probings. Some adapters may hang halfway through; we can't really help that. Also, some chips will 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. That often includes address 0x69 (clock chip). Some chips are also accessible through the ISA bus. ISA probes are typically a bit more dangerous, as we have to write to I/O ports to do this. Do you want to scan the ISA bus? (YES/no): YES Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' Trying address 0x0290... Failed! Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78-J' Trying address 0x0290... Failed! Probing for `National Semiconductor LM79' Trying address 0x0290... Failed! Probing for `Winbond W83781D' Trying address 0x0290... Failed! Probing for `Winbond W83782D' Trying address 0x0290...

Probing for `ITE IT8705F / IT8712F / SiS 950' Trying address 0x0290... Failed! Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done. Just press ENTER to continue: I will now generate the commands needed to load the I2C modules. Sometimes, a chip is available both through the ISA bus and an I2C bus. ISA bus access is faster, but you need to load an additional driver module for it. If you have the choice, do you want to use the ISA bus or the I2C/SMBus (ISA/smbus)? WARNING! If you have some things built into your kernel, the below list will contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones! To load everything that is needed, edit /etc/modules and add the modules listed here to it: #----cut here---- # I2C adapter drivers # I2C chip drivers #----cut here---- Then, run /etc/init.d/modutils To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add these lines to /etc/modutils/local and run update-modules: #----cut here---- # I2C module options alias char-major-89 i2c-dev #----cut here---- dmesg results: ============== i2c-viapro.o version 2.6.2 (20011118) i2c-viapro.o: Found Via VT82C686A/B device SMBUS: Error: Host SMBus controller not enabled! i2c-viapro.o: Can't detect vt82c596 or compatible device, module not inserted. i2c-dev.o: i2c /dev entries driver module i2c-core.o: driver i2c-dev dummy driver registered. lsmod ===== Module Size Used by Not tainted i2c-dev 3776 0 (unused) serial 44064 1 (autoclean) ncr53c8xx 51744 1 (autoclean) sr_mod 12280 2 (autoclean) scsi_mod 86328 2 (autoclean) [ncr53c8xx sr_mod] pktcdvd 16584 1 (autoclean) cdrom 28736 0 (autoclean) [sr_mod pktcdvd] nfsd 66592 8 (autoclean) snd-seq-midi 3232 0 (autoclean) (unused) snd-seq-oss 23296 0 (unused) snd-seq-midi-event 2744 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-seq-oss] snd-seq 36908 2 [snd-seq-midi snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi-event] snd-pcm-oss 35776 0 snd-mixer-oss 9120 1 [snd-pcm-oss] snd-card-cs46xx 1440 1 snd-cs46xx 67840 0 [snd-card-cs46xx] snd-pcm 45664 0 [snd-pcm-oss snd-cs46xx] snd-timer 10208 0 [snd-seq snd-pcm] snd-rawmidi 11936 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-cs46xx] snd-seq-device 3920 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-seq-oss snd-seq snd-rawmidi]snd-ac97-codec 22784 0 [snd-cs46xx] snd 23784 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi-event snd-seq snd-pcm-oss snd-mixer-oss snd-card-cs46xx snd-cs46xx snd-pcm snd-timer snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device snd-ac97-codec] soundcore 3396 7 [snd] af_packet 8520 1 (autoclean) i2c-proc 6176 0 i2c-core 12448 0 [i2c-dev i2c-proc] scanner 8480 0 (unused) usb-uhci 21316 0 (unused) usbcore 53344 1 [scanner usb-uhci] 3c59x 24808 1 nfs 70940 1 lockd 48256 1 [nfsd nfs] sunrpc 58996 1 [nfsd nfs lockd] lspci -n ======== 00:00.0 Class 0600: 1106:0691 (rev 03) 00:01.0 Class 0604: 1106:8305 00:03.0 Class 0c00: 104c:8020 00:04.0 Class 0200: 10b7:9001 00:05.0 Class 0100: 1000:0004 (rev 04) 00:06.0 Class 0400: 109e:036e (rev 11) 00:06.1 Class 0480: 109e:0878 (rev 11) 00:07.0 Class 0401: 1013:6003 (rev 01) 00:14.0 Class 0601: 1106:0686 (rev 22) 00:14.1 Class 0101: 1106:0571 (rev 10) 00:14.2 Class 0c03: 1106:3038 (rev 10) 00:14.3 Class 0c03: 1106:3038 (rev 10) 00:14.4 Class 0680: 1106:3057 (rev 30) 01:00.0 Class 0300: 10de:002d (rev 15) lspci -v ======== 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.
