The driver that would support this chip is i2c-i801 and there is a list of PCI ID's that are supported. The PCI ID for your chip needs to be added. To complicate matters, your kernel header pci_ids.h may not have the chip listed either. So take a cue from the definitions already in that file and do this: #ifndef PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_82801DA_SMBUS #define PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_82801DA_SMBUS 0x[lspci ID here] #endif Then use that macro in the code that follows, adding it where you find the 82801DB... > > > > When I run sensors-detect I get that all probes fail including the one for the > > > > 28381d driver. e.g., > > > > Probing for %G$,3u=(B%@Winbond W83781D%G$,3u=(B%@ > > > > Trying address 0x0290...

(In any case, my setup didn't detect anything either way) Sensors-detect can't probe the i2c bus if it doesn't have a driver for the bus.
