Hi Jeffery, > I have an iWill Zmaxdp (dual opteron) on the Nforce3 250 Pro chipset. > > Running sensors-detect, I found the following chips/buses: > eeprom > i2c-isa > i2c-nforce2 > w83627hf > it87 It's very unlikely that you would need both it87 and w83627hf. One of these has to be a misdetection. > I had sensors-detect create my configuration files, and ran rc-update > add lm_sensors default. Here is my output from sensors-detect: > Driver `it87' (may not be inserted): > Misdetects: > * ISA bus address 0x0290 (Busdriver `i2c-isa') > Chip `ITE IT8705F / IT8712F / SiS 950' (confidence: 8) Confirmed here. Do not load it87. > Note that sensors-detect did not generate a module load for it87, And quite rightly so, as it knew it was a misdetection. > Any ideas? Yes. Check /proc/ioports, see if something holds part of the 0x290-0x297 range. If there is something, try to recompile a kernel with CONFIG_PNPACPI disabled. This is a known and reported problem waiting for a solution: http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4014 The cause is IMHO a broken BIOS (or ACPI data thereof), so ideally the motherboard manufacturers would fix their BIOS and the problem would go. But I might be wrong. -- Jean Delvare
