At first I joined this list to ask for help because I couldn't get the sensors working with my board. Luckily I solved the problem on my own but thought you guys might be interested in what was the cause of the conflict. Kernel: 2.6.14-ck9n Sensors: 2.10.0 Board: Tyan K8E S2865 Since Tyan supplies a sensor.conf for this board, I thought getting sensors running would be a breeze. After following their instructions, I found that I got no sensor output at all with "sensors" reporting a missing filesystem or something. I use a old brooktree video capture board with this board. What I found was that if I rmmod all bttv stuff I could then successfully get sensors to work. The ultimate solution was to load the sensor kernel modules before bttv and then everything worked together. I'm using Gentoo, so in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6: usbcore i2c-nforce2 lm85 force_emc6d100=0,0x2e ide-cd nls_utf8 loop bttv This module-loading order works well. Originally bttv was before the i2c-nforce2 and lm85 modules and that was causing all the problems. Thanks for all the work in getting hardware sensors working in Linux! -- : is not an identifier
