The faq says to post at: http://www.netroedge.com/~lm78/support.html but
this link is broken so I hope good old-fashioned E-mail is okay.

When I run sensors-detect

The output looks like this...

<snip>
Client found at address 0x61

    (confidence 1, driver `')
Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /usr/local/sbin/sensors-detect
line 1
393, <STDIN> line 4.

 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):
<snip>

Notice the success "driver" appears to be blank.

This is the output near the end of the script:

<snip>
 Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
 Just press ENTER to continue:

Driver `thmc50' (should be inserted):
  Detects correctly:
  * Bus `SMBus PIIX4 adapter at fc00' (Non-I2C SMBus adapter)
    Busdriver `i2c-piix4', I2C address 0x2c
    Chip `Analog Devices ADM1022' (confidence: 8)
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at
/usr/local/sbin/sen
sors-detect line 2781, <STDIN> line 6.

Driver `' (should be inserted):
  Detects correctly:
  * Bus `SMBus PIIX4 adapter at fc00' (Non-I2C SMBus adapter)
    Busdriver `i2c-piix4', I2C address 0x61
    Chip `SMBus 2.0 ARP-Capable Device??' (confidence: 1)
<snip>

Notice again the blank driver. Now the modprobe lines I'm supposed to
insert:

<snip>
#----cut here----
# I2C adapter drivers
modprobe i2c-piix4
# I2C chip drivers
modprobe thmc50
modprobe
#----cut here----

To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add these lines to either
/etc/modules.conf or /etc/conf.modules:

#----cut here----
# I2C module options
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
<snip>

Looks like a blank modprobe line?? Is this right?

bash-2.05a#lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted
i2c-dev                 4704   0
eeprom                  4736   0  (unused)
thmc50                  5600   0  (unused)
i2c-proc                8128   0  [eeprom thmc50]
i2c-piix4               4772   0
i2c-core               19264   0  [i2c-dev eeprom thmc50 i2c-proc i2c-piix4]

Is this output correct? I'm trying to find temperature information??

bash-2.05a# sensors -f

Here's dmesg output:

Not knowing what I was doing I stuck i2c-isa in then removed it. ??

Thanks for your help.
