I am having freeze-ups and reboots on an MTC8640 laptop running SuSE 9.2 which I suspect may be caused by hardware problems, possibly clock/powersave related. I have installed lm_sensors 2.9.2, kernel is 2.6.8-24. I am OK with software but sometimes a bit dim where h/w is concerned. I have read the docs on the website, I am still not sure whether precisely this combination is supposed to be supported. The website sort of indicates that SiS996x is supported but the outputs are as below. Could you advise? lshw output: cat lshw-output nport1 description: Portable Computer product: 8640 vendor: MTC version: A1 serial: 12345678 width: 32 bits capabilities: smbios-2.3 dmi-2.3 configuration: administrator_password=disabled boot=normal chassis=portable power-on_password=disabled *-core description: Motherboard product: 8640 vendor: MTC physical id: 0 version: A1 serial: 12345678 slot: J6 *-firmware description: BIOS vendor: Insyde Software physical id: 0 version: Version 4.00 (04/02/2001) size: 88KB capacity: 192KB capabilities: isa pci pcmcia pnp apm upgrade shadowing cdboot socketedrom edd int13floppynec int13floppy720 int13floppy2880 int5printscreen int9keyboard int14serial int17printer int10video acpi usb ls120boot zipboot smartbattery netboot *-cpu description: CPU product: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.80GHz vendor: Intel Corp. physical id: 4 bus info: cpu at 0 version: 15.2.9 slot: PGA478 size: 2799MHz capacity: 2799MHz width: 32 bits clock: 100MHz capabilities: fpu fpu_exception wp vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe cid xtpr configuration: id=0 *-cache:0 description: L1 cache physical id: 5 slot: L1 Cache size: 8KB capacity: 32KB capabilities: burst pipeline-burst internal write-back *-cache:1 description: L2 cache physical id: 6 slot: L2 Cache size: 128KB capacity: 128KB capabilities: burst pipeline-burst external write-back *-memory:0 description: System Memory physical id: 15 slot: System board or motherboard capacity: 256MB *-bank:0 description: DIMM DRAM EDO 1 MHz (1000.0 ns) physical id: 0 slot: DRAM Slot 0 size: 256MB width: 64 bits clock: 1MHz (1000ns) *-bank:1 description: DIMM DRAM EDO 1 MHz (1000.0 ns) [empty] physical id: 1 slot: DRAM Slot 1 width: 64 bits clock: 1MHz (1000ns) *-bank:2 description: DIMM DRAM EDO 1 MHz (1000.0 ns) [empty] physical id: 2 slot: DRAM Slot 2 width: 64 bits clock: 1MHz (1000ns) *-memory:1 UNCLAIMED description: Video Memory physical id: 16 slot: System board or motherboard capacity: 2MB *-memory:2 UNCLAIMED description: Flash Memory physical id: 17 slot: System board or motherboard capacity: 2MB *-memory:3 UNCLAIMED description: Cache Memory physical id: 18 slot: System board or motherboard capacity: 256KB *-memory:4 UNCLAIMED physical id: 1 *-memory:5 UNCLAIMED physical id: 2 *-pci description: Host bridge product: 650/M650 Host vendor: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] physical id: f0000000 bus info: pci at 00:00.0 version: 80 width: 32 bits clock: 33MHz resources: iomemory:f0000000-f3ffffff *-pci description: PCI bridge product: Virtual PCI-to-PCI bridge (AGP) vendor: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] physical id: 1 bus info: pci at 00:01.0 version: 00 width: 32 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pci normal_decode bus_master *-display description: VGA compatible controller product: 65x/M650/740 PCI/AGP VGA Display Adapter vendor: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] physical id: 0 bus info: pci at 01:00.0 logical name: /dev/fb0 version: 00 size: 128MB width: 32 bits clock: 66MHz capabilities: vga cap_list fb configuration: depth=16 frequency=75.69Hz mode=1024x768 visual=truecolor xres=1024 yres=768 resources: iomemory:90000000-97ffffff iomemory:e0000000-e001ffff ioport:c000-c07f irq:11 *-isa UNCLAIMED description: ISA bridge product: SiS962 [MuTIOL Media IO] vendor: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] physical id: 2 bus info: pci at 00:02.0 version: 25 width: 32 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: isa bus_master *-serial description: SMBus product: SiS961/2 SMBus Controller vendor: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] physical id: 2.1 bus info: pci at 00:02.1 version: 00 width: 32 bits clock: 33MHz configuration: driver=sis96x_smbus resources: irq:10 *-ide description: IDE interface product: 5513 [IDE] vendor: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] physical id: 2.5 bus info: pci at 00:02.5 version: 00 width: 32 bits etc etc dmesg output: nport1:~ # cat dmesg.output Linux version 2.6.8-24-default (geeko at buildhost) (gcc version 3.3.4 (pre 3.3.520040809)) #1 Wed Oct 6 09:16:23 UTC 2004 BIOS-provided physical RAM map: BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009fc00 (usable) BIOS-e820: 000000000009fc00 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000000e0000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 0000000000100000 - 000000000dff0000 (usable) BIOS-e820: 000000000dff0000 - 000000000dffffc0 (ACPI data) BIOS-e820: 000000000dffffc0 - 000000000e000000 (ACPI NVS) BIOS-e820: 00000000fff80000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved) 789MB vmalloc/ioremap area available. 0MB HIGHMEM available. 223MB LOWMEM available.

You need to have i2c and lm_sensors installed before running this program. Also, you need to be `root', or at least have access to the /dev/i2c-* files, for most things. If you have patched your kernel and have some drivers built in, you can safely answer NO if asked to load some modules. In this case, things may seem a bit confusing, but they will still work. It is generally safe and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions, unless you know what you're doing. We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters. You do not need any special privileges for this. Do you want to probe now? (YES/no): Probing for PCI bus adapters... Use driver `i2c-sis96x' for device 00:02.1: Silicon Integrated Systems SMBus Controller Probe succesfully concluded. We will now try to load each adapter module in turn. Load `i2c-sis96x' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): Module loaded succesfully. If you have undetectable or unsupported adapters, you can have them scanned by manually loading the modules before running this script. To continue, we need module `i2c-dev' to be loaded. If it is built-in into your kernel, you can safely skip this. i2c-dev is not loaded. Do you want to load it now? (YES/no): Module loaded succesfully. We are now going to do the adapter probings. Some adapters may hang halfway through; we can't really help that. Also, some chips will be double detected; we choose the one with the highest confidence value in that case. If you found that the adapter hung after probing a certain address, you can specify that address to remain unprobed. That often includes address 0x69 (clock chip). Next adapter: SiS96x SMBus adapter at 0x1000 (Algorithm unavailable) Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): Some chips are also accessible through the ISA bus. ISA probes are typically a bit more dangerous, as we have to write to I/O ports to do this. This is usually safe though. Do you want to scan the ISA bus?

Either your sensors are not supported, or they are connected to an I2C bus adapter that we do not support. See doc/FAQ, doc/lm_sensors-FAQ.html, or http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/cvs/lm_sensors2/doc/lm_sensors-FAQ.html (FAQ #4.24.3) for further information. If you find out what chips are on your board, see http://secure.netroedge.com/~lm78/newdrivers.html for driver status. nport1:~ # sensors outut (not surprisingly!) sensors No sensors found! nport1:~ #
