hi, (sorry about the previous message -went by mistake-) My problem is related to a Fujitsu-Siemens (AMILO A 7620) laptop. It seems that chipsets are supported, but I cannot successfully run sensors-detect AND probe 'non-detectable'. However, I have succeeded in running sensors-detect WITHOUT probing 'non-detectable', but the output from sensors is only: [root at flaptop root]# sensors eeprom-i2c-0-51 Adapter: SMBus Via Pro adapter at 0400 Algorithm: Non-I2C SMBus adapter Memory type: DDR SDRAM DIMM Memory size (MB): 512 _____________________________ This is what I have got: -The dmesg or syslog output if applicable: ______________________________________________ i2c-dev.o: i2c /dev entries driver module i2c-core.o: driver i2c-dev dummy driver registered. i2c-dev.o: Registered 'SMBus Via Pro adapter at 0400' as minor 0 i2c-algo-pcf.o: i2c pcf8584 algorithm module i2c-elektor.o: i2c pcf8584-isa adapter module i2c-elektor.o: requested I/O region (0x330:2) is in use. i2c-algo-bit.o: i2c bit algorithm module i2c-elv.o: i2c ELV parallel port adapter module i2c-dev.o: Registered 'ELV Parallel port adaptor' as minor 1 i2c-core.o: adapter ELV Parallel port adaptor registered as adapter 1. i2c-elv.o: found device at 0x378. i2c-algo-pcf.o: i2c pcf8584 algorithm module i2c-elektor.o: i2c pcf8584-isa adapter module i2c-elektor.o: requested I/O region (0x330:2) is in use. i2c-algo-pcf.o: i2c pcf8584 algorithm module i2c-elektor.o: i2c pcf8584-isa adapter module i2c-elektor.o: requested I/O region (0x330:2) is in use. i2c-philips-par.o: i2c Philips parallel port adapter module i2c-velleman.o: i2c Velleman K8000 adapter module i2c-velleman.o: Port 0x378 already in use. ____________________________ * The output of (as root) prog/detect/sensors-detect ______________________________________ [root at flaptop root]# sensors-detect This program will help you determine which I2C/SMBus modules you need to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. You need to have i2c and lm_sensors installed before running this program. Also, you need to be `root', or at least have access to the /dev/i2c-* files, for most things. 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. BIOS vendor (ACPI): AMI System vendor (DMI): FUJITSU SIEMENS BIOS version (DMI): 0.28 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 00:11.0: VIA Technologies VT8233A/8235 South Bridge Probe succesfully concluded. We will now try to load each adapter module in turn. Module `i2c-viapro' already loaded. Do you now want to be prompted for non-detectable adapters? (yes/NO): y Load `i2c-elektor' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): y /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2149.nptl/unsupported/drivers/i2c/i2c-elektor.o: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.

To continue, we need module `i2c-dev' to be loaded. If it is built-in into your kernel, you can safely skip this. i2c-dev is already loaded. 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. That often includes address 0x69 (clock chip). Next adapter: SMBus Via Pro adapter at 0400 (Non-I2C SMBus adapter) Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): y Client at address 0x51 can not be probed - unload all client drivers first! Client found at address 0x69 Next adapter: ELV Parallel port adaptor (Bit-shift algorithm) Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): y ^X^X^X^X [root at flaptop root]# _______________________________ * The output of lsmod: __________________________ [root at flaptop root]# lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted i2c-philips-par 3356 0 (unused) parport 36800 0 [i2c-philips-par] i2c-elv 2404 0 i2c-algo-bit 8776 1 [i2c-philips-par i2c-elv] i2c-dev 5060 0 udf 92992 0 (autoclean) via82cxxx_audio 23672 1 (autoclean) ac97_codec 16648 0 (autoclean) [via82cxxx_audio] uart401 7972 0 (autoclean) [via82cxxx_audio] sound 71444 0 (autoclean) [via82cxxx_audio uart401] soundcore 6500 4 (autoclean) [via82cxxx_audio sound] eeprom 4948 0 (unused) i2c-proc 8400 0 [eeprom] i2c-viapro 5008 0 i2c-core 18916 0 [i2c-algo-bit i2c-dev eeprom i2c-proc i2c-viapro] autofs 12052 0 (autoclean) (unused) via-rhine 14672 1 mii 3992 0 [via-rhine] sg 34796 0 (autoclean) sr_mod 17016 0 (autoclean) ide-scsi 11856 0 scsi_mod 109384 3 [sg sr_mod ide-scsi] ide-cd 34176 0 cdrom 34048 0 [sr_mod ide-cd] ohci1394 28520 0 (unused) ieee1394 203940 0 [ohci1394] nls_iso8859-1 3548 1 (autoclean) nls_cp437 5180 1 (autoclean) vfat 12268 1 (autoclean) fat 37592 0 (autoclean) [vfat] keybdev 2624 0 (unused) mousedev 5204 0 (unused) hid 23652 0 (unused) input 5824 0 [keybdev mousedev hid] ehci-hcd 19784 0 (unused) usb-uhci 25740 0 (unused) usbcore 77984 1 [hid ehci-hcd usb-uhci] thermal 8032 0 (unused) processor 10584 0 [thermal] fan 2240 0 (unused) button 3500 0 (unused) battery 6848 0 (unused) asus_acpi 9596 0 (unused) ac 2528 0 (unused) ext3 70980 4 jbd 51084 4 [ext3] If a PCI chip problem: * The output of lspci -n ___________________________ [root at flaptop root]# lspci -n 00:00.0 Class 0600: 1106:3189 (rev 80) 00:01.0 Class 0604: 1106:b198 00:09.0 Class 0c00: 1106:3044 (rev 80) 00:0b.0 Class 0607: 1217:6972 (rev 20) 00:10.0 Class 0c03: 1106:3038 (rev 80) 00:10.1 Class 0c03: 1106:3038 (rev 80) 00:10.2 Class 0c03: 1106:3038 (rev 80) 00:10.3 Class 0c03: 1106:3104 (rev 82) 00:11.0 Class 0601: 1106:3177 00:11.1 Class 0101: 1106:0571 (rev 06) 00:11.5 Class 0401: 1106:3059 (rev 50) 00:11.6 Class 0780: 1106:3068 (rev 80) 00:12.0 Class 0200: 1106:3065 (rev 74) 01:00.0 Class 0300: 1002:4c66 (rev 01) _____________________________ UNSURE ABOUT THESE SECTIONS ;-( * If an I2C sensor chip problem: * The output of (as root) prog/detect/i2cdetect X where X = the bus number (run i2cdetect with no arguments to list the busses) (please send this only if it's not all XX) * The output of (as root) prog/dump/i2cdump X 0xXX where XX = the address of each chip you see in the output of i2cdetect.
