Right now we claim that the adm1021 driver works for the xeon, except that it only has one sensor instead of two, and requires a force_adm1021 parameter. Not that we've tested it. Would you please? If true, I don't know if it would be better to hack adm1021 to remove the second sensor for xeons, or to keep your separate driver. As you have good detection (that I hope won't detect the adm1021 series) it's probably better to keep it separate. After you go through doc/developers/new_drivers you will probably have an updated patch. A patch against CVS would be best. chips.c is in lib/ Philip Pokorny wrote: > > The thermal diode on the Pentium III processors has been replaced by an > SMBus device to monitor and convert the diode to degrees C in the > Pentium 4 (Xeon) processors. > > This Thermal Sensors is documented in the processor datasheet and I have > written a driver to report the temperature, high and low limits, and the > conversion rate. > > I had to hack the i2c-i801 driver to recognize the intel 7500 xx801CA > chip.
