First, I'd like to appologize for the slow answer. I've been very busy these days (moved in to a new place for a new job). If you're still interested in solving your fan problem, here we go. It looks like one of the steps taken by the it87 module while initializing your chipset doesnt please it. We simply have to find out which one. For that, we'd need to see the configuration register(s) state(s) before the module is loaded (which means the module should not be loaded automatically at boot time). Run the following command (as root) before loading the module: i2cdump 1 0x2d b > ~/it87-before-init.out Then, load the module, then unload it, and run the command again: i2cdump 1 0x2d b > ~/it87-after-init.out And send us the two files so that we can analyze them. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
