> With that change, I found the SMSC chip but no sensors. This at least means that, if nothing else, you may be able to monitor your fans with that SMSC chip. The smsc47m1 driver wouldn't load because it doesn't recognize the device ID as one it handles. I took a quick look at the 47B27x datasheet and it _seems_ to be compatible with the 47M1xx. Same logical device, same registers. If there are subtle differences, I could have missed them. If you want to take your chance, edit smsc47m1.c, edit SMSC_DEVID_MATCH so that it likes your ID (0x51) and try using it. > Neither i2c bus shows anything. > [root at gb0010 sensors]# cat /proc/bus/i2c > i2c-0 dummy ISA main adapter ISA > bus algorithm > > [root at gb0010 sensors]# lm_sensors-2.8.4/prog/detect/i2cdetect 0 > Error: Can't use SMBus Quick Write command on this bus (ISA bus?) > > [root at gb0010 sensors]# lm_sensors-2.8.4/prog/detect/i2cdetect 1 > WARNING!

How can i2c-1 exist and not be listed in /proc/bus/i2c? Very strange. The SMBus way looks like a dead end anyway. I fear that we won't possibly offer you anything but fan monitoring with the SMSC chip. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
