Dear Jean, Mochel, MDS, and LM_Sensors Group: This is Chunhao. I get a motherboard with ALI M1563 today, and tested the i2c-ali1563.c for linux-2.4 (backport by myself, can compile, load/unload), it does NOT work. When I test the module with lm_sensors-2.9.0, I find that it does NOT work: after I load the required module: i2c-core, i2c-proc, i2c-ali1563 and w83792d, I get the output "No sensors found!" when I run "sensors". I examined the source code of i2c-ali1563.c but can NOT find the reason. The attachment is the i2c-ali1563.c backported by me, Would you please check it for me? Since I keep the modification trace in the codes, you may just search "chunhao" to find the modified part. I'm NOT familiar with bus driver, I backport the driver only with the suggestion of Jean and reference to driver i2c-ali1535.c/i2c-ali15x3.c, So I think there should be some errors in all probability. I need your help. The following is the debug message when I load some modules, please refer it: ************************************************************** Jan 27 17:44:11 pi140001 kernel: i2c-core.o: i2c core module version 2.9.0 (20041228) Jan 27 17:44:11 pi140001 kernel: i2c-proc.o version 2.9.0 (20041228) Jan 27 17:44:11 pi140001 kernel: i2c-core.o: i2c core module version 2.9.0 (20041228) Jan 27 17:44:11 pi140001 kernel: ali1563: SMBus control = 5003 Jan 27 17:44:11 pi140001 kernel: ali1563_probe: Returning 0 Jan 27 17:44:11 pi140001 kernel: i2c-proc.o version 2.9.0 (20041228) Jan 27 17:44:11 pi140001 kernel: w83792d.o version 2.9.0 (20041228) Jan 27 17:44:11 pi140001 kernel: w83792d: ENTERING w83792d_attach_adapter Jan 27 17:44:11 pi140001 kernel: w83792d: ENTERING w83792d_detect Jan 27 17:44:11 pi140001 kernel: w83792d: LEAVING w83792d_detect Jan 27 17:44:11 pi140001 kernel: w83792d: LEAVING w83792d_attach_adapter Best Regards Chunhao > -----Original Message----- > From: PI14 HUANG0 > Sent: 2005???1???19??? 18:24 > To: 'Jean Delvare'; 'mochel at digitalimplant.org' > Cc: PI10 LHHsu; PI14 DZSHEN; 'LM Sensors'; PI13 CFLi > Subject: RE: A probelm of loading module i2c-ali1563.o > > Hi Jean & Mochel > > I backported the i2c-ali1563.c from 2.6 to 2.4.
