Hi - I'm emailing because I'm starting to fear my trouble with lm75 is that my computer is getting long in the tooth. My problem seems to be specifically with lm75 (CPU temp). I use lm75/78 to get CPU temp/fan speed and mb temp/fan speed. I have an Asus a7m266 mb and Athlon 1900+ (both almost five years old). With kernel 2.4 I'm almost positive I never had trouble with lm75/78. I moved to 2.6.3 quite awhile back and am fairly sure I also had no/little trouble. I moved to 2.6.7 many months ago and had a lot of trouble with lm75 'not responding' when I'd boot (no problems with lm78). About 10-15% of the time lm75 would be reporting after boot. The rest of the time, nothing. But I discovered that after booting, if I rmmod all i2c mods and reloaded them, about the second or third or fourth try rmmod/insmod'ing them lm75 would start reporting (I use i2c-viapro over via686a). This technique never failed. The other day I built 2.6.10 and there doesn't seem to be a thing I can do to get lm75 to report. (I used "make oldconfig" and my 2.6.7 cfg). sensors-detect still reports "Success" but now even my reloading technique won't work. So it *seems* that kernels and lm75 are orthogonally related (for me at least) - the newer the kernel the less likely lm75 will work. Which leads to my question: Is this because lm75/my computer are getting a little aged and maybe the mod I need gets less attention now because of it? Would you know if there's anything I can 'bring over' from 2.6.7 kernel source into 2.6.10 that would improve my chances of getting lm75 to work again? Most recently I've used sensor utils 2.8.6 and 2.8.7. Thanks...
