In newer versions of sensors-detect, Super IO have a confidence of 9, so it would have suggested w83627hf over it87 in your case. > As one can see now the Winbond is recommended as expected. yet, if I > use the recommended modules: > > sensors > w83627thf-isa-0290 > Adapter: ISA adapter > Algorithm: ISA algorithm > ERROR: Can't get alarm data! > ERROR: Can't get beep data! > ERROR: Can't get IN0 data! > ERROR: Can't get IN2 data! > ERROR: Can't get IN3 data! > ERROR: Can't get IN4 data! > ERROR: Can't get IN7 data! > ERROR: Can't get IN8 data! > ERROR: Can't get FAN1 data! > ERROR: Can't get FAN2 data! > ERROR: Can't get TEMP1 data! > ERROR: Can't get TEMP2 data! > > Khali supposed the lib might be outdated, but where can I find the > lib. ls -l /usr/lib/libsensors* ls -l /usr/local/lib/libsensors* You can also do "$(which sensors)" and "ldd $(which sensors)" to see which library the sensors binary is linking to. If the library prefix differs from sensors one, there's something bad. > I am using gentoo, I patched the kernel since I need bttv I > installed all needed packages etc. We have a long history of problems with Gentoo. They have kernel patches that often make lm_sensors fail, although "sensors" alone usually works (this is "sensors -s" that usually fails). I'm not sure I understand what you mean with "I patched the kernel". Did you patch Gentoo kernel sources, or a vanilla kernel? > gentoo says I use lm-sensors 2.8.1 as well as i2c 2.8.1 I would recommend that you clearly choose your side, and stick to it. Either use a Gentoo kernel and stick to their version of i2c and lm_sensors, or compile a vanilla kernel with my i2c patch, and install lm_sensors on your own (same version as i2c, preferably). Mixing Gentoo stuff with our own is likely to cause more trouble than it's worth. -- Jean Delvare
