Hi,
I have a box running Red Hat 9, i2c 2.9.1 and lm_sensors 2.9.0. I
have also verified that I have this same issue with the lm_sensors
version from CVS downloaded October 25, 2004. This box has an LM87 at
i2c location lm87-i2c-0-2d and an lm93 at i2c location lm93-i2c-0-2e.
If I load the lm93 driver but not the lm87 driver, the following message
is logged by dmesg:
lm93.o version 2.9.0 (20041228)
lm93.o: disabled SMBus block data transactions
lm93.o: detect failed, bad manufacturer id 0x02
When I run sensors, a message that no sensors are found is printed.
I can do an i2cdump of the lm93 and the manufacturer ID (at location
0x3e) is 0x01. A dump of the lm87 shows 0x02 at location 0x3e.
I unloaded the lm93 driver and loaded the lm87 driver. Then the lm93
driver loads without incident and both drivers are happy.
Is this normal behavior?
Thanks!
David
