Dear sir I am not able to detect sensors on my motherboard. I am attaching the output of sensors-detect in sensors-detect.out file. The output of lsmod command is in lsmod.out file attached. The output of lspci -n command is attached in lspci.out file. Please see it. The chipset of my motherboard is intel 82440B/ Intel82440ZX/VIA The sensors version is lm_sensors-2.5.5 The linux kernel version is 2.4.2-2 Please help me. Waiting for your valuable response. -- Hitesh Kr.

You need to have done a `make install', issued a `depmod -a' and made sure `/etc/conf.modules' (or `/etc/modules.conf') contains the appropriate module path before you can use some functions of this utility. Read doc/modules for more information. Also, you need to be `root', or at least have access to the /dev/i2c[-]* files for some things. You can use prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh to create these /dev files if you do not have them already. 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. 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): Y Probing for PCI bus adapters... Use driver `i2c-viapro' for device 00:07.3: VIA Technologies VT 82C596 Apollo ACPI Probe succesfully concluded. 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. If you have a PIIX4, that often includes addresses 0x69 and/or 0x6a.

Just press ENTER to continue: Driver `eeprom' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * Bus `SMBus vt82c596 adapter at 5000' (Non-I2C SMBus adapter) Busdriver `i2c-viapro', I2C address 0x51 Chip `Serial EEPROM (PC-100 DIMM)' (confidence: 1) * Bus `SMBus vt82c596 adapter at 5000' (Non-I2C SMBus adapter) Busdriver `i2c-viapro', I2C address 0x52 Chip `Serial EEPROM (PC-100 DIMM)' (confidence: 8) 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)? 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, add this to some /etc/rc* file: #----cut here---- # I2C adapter drivers modprobe i2c-viapro # modprobe unknown adapter PCF8584 ISA adapter using PCF8584 algorithm # modprobe unknown adapter ELV Parallel port adaptor using Bit-shift algorithm # I2C chip drivers modprobe eeprom #----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 #----cut here----
