Three possibilities: you have another I2C bus on the board, possibly GPIO-driven, or the LM78 is at a different ISA address, or the LM78 is at ISA 0x290 but detection fails. Try loading the lm78 module with force_lm78=9191,0x290. Also try isadump 0x295 0x296. Both should give results if assertion #3 is correct. If not, there's not much we can do without additional information about your motherboard. Look at the manual for additional information or ask the manufacturer directly. At least try to know what chip the LM78 is wired to. -- Jean Delvare
