Take a look at /sys/bus/i2c/devices, everything is there. So your scripts definitely need to be updated to support the new interface. > I tried runnig sensors-detect see if maybe some things had changed. > sensors-detect came up with the smsc47m1 driver instead of the > as99127f like it used to in 2.4. This surprises me. These are completely different chips, it isn't possible to misdetect one as the other. The SMSC chip is a Super-I/O chip which has fans monitoring and control capabilities. These capabilities may or may not be used on your motherboard. The driver hasn't been ported to Linux 2.6 yet (although Gabriele Gorla is working on it). If sensors-detect doesn't detect your Asus chip, this needs fixing. I'd need a dump of the chip (using i2cdump) for this. Thanks. -- Jean Delvare http://khali.linux-fr.org/
