Because we don't have the info from IBM to discriminate which systems have the 24RF08 chip we unfortunately have no choice but to blacklist all of them. If you would like to bypass this at your own risk you can modify the code in i2c-piix4.c. More info is available here: http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/cvs/lm_sensors2/README.thinkpad Good luck. mds Philip Edelbrock wrote: > > > -------- Original Message -------- > From: - Mon Aug 25 15:34:27 2003 > X-UIDL: 0f0ff054686be1ff > X-Mozilla-Status: 0001 > X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000 > Return-Path: <imre.oolberg at riik.ee> > Received: from umbleja.auul (213-35-150-38-dsl.trt.estpak.ee > [213.35.150.38]) by Ren.netroedge.com (8.12.8p1/8.12.8) with ESMTP id > h7PKk8IP003910 for <phil at netroedge.com>; Mon, 25 Aug 2003 13:46:09 -0700 > Received: by umbleja.auul (Postfix, from userid 1000) id > D5209DB813A; Mon, 25 Aug 2003 23:56:33 +0300 (EEST) > Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by umbleja.auul > (Postfix) with ESMTP id D2445564642 for <phil at netroedge.com>; Mon, 25 > Aug 2003 23:56:33 +0300 (EEST) > Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2003 23:56:33 +0300 (EEST) > From: Imre Oolberg <imre.oolberg at riik.ee> > X-X-Sender: imre at umbleja.auul > To: phil at netroedge.com > Subject: About IBM x323 and lm_sensors > Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0308252340380.31421-100000 at umbleja.auul> > MIME-Version: 1.0 > Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII > X-Quarentine-Loop: Processed > X-Spambayes-Classification: unsure; 0.22 > > > > Hallo! > > I started to manage serveral IBM xseries servers, some of them having > ServerWorks OSB4 chipset running Linux kernel 2.4.22, like this > > SvrWks OSB4: IDE controller at PCI slot 00:0f.1 > SvrWks OSB4: chipset revision 0 > SvrWks OSB4: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later > > I have been using some time ago lm_sensors and it worked for me nice on > common PIIX and VIA chipset motherbords. > > Now, i just compiled the 2.4.22 kernel and also following closely > instructions the i2c and lm_sensors.
