Hi again *Linux distro - VectorLinux, based on Slackware *Kernel version - 2.6.13 *lm_sensors version - 2.9.2 *motherboard - nvidia nforce2 So I disabled sensors modules and made a cold reboot, but still no network and sound. In the outputs at boot/shutdown I saw that it can't find any sound card. What I change in /etc/rc.modules and /etc/modules.conf is commented in the files I post here; Althought, I ran again sensors-detect, here is the full output: =================================================== =================================================== [root at kamen-vectorlinux/home/kamen]# sensors-detect # sensors-detect revision 1.393 (2005/08/30 18:51:18) This program will help you determine which I2C/SMBus modules you need to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. 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): yes Probing for PCI bus adapters... Use driver `rivatv' for device 02:00.0: GeForce FX 5600 Use driver `i2c-nforce2' for device 00:01.1: nVidia Corporation nForce2 SMBus (MCP) Probe succesfully concluded. We will now try to load each adapter module in turn. Load `rivatv' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): no Load `i2c-nforce2' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): yes 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): yes 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: SMBus nForce2 adapter at 5100 Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): yes Client found at address 0x08 Client found at address 0x4e Probing for `National Semiconductor LM75'...

Probing for `Maxim MAX6900'... Failed! Client found at address 0x51 Probing for `SPD EEPROM'... Success! (confidence 8, driver `eeprom') 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?

(skipping family) Probing for `Winbond W83627EHF/EHG Super IO Sensors' Failed! (skipping family) Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done. Just press ENTER to continue: Driver `eeprom' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * Bus `SMBus nForce2 adapter at 5000' Busdriver `i2c-nforce2', I2C address 0x50 Chip `SPD EEPROM' (confidence: 8) * Bus `SMBus nForce2 adapter at 5000' Busdriver `i2c-nforce2', I2C address 0x51 Chip `SPD EEPROM' (confidence: 8) Driver `w83781d' (may not be inserted): Misdetects: * ISA bus address 0x0290 (Busdriver `i2c-isa') Chip `Winbond W83627HF' (confidence: 8) Driver `w83627hf' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * ISA bus address 0x0290 (Busdriver `i2c-isa') Chip `Winbond W83627HF Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9) I will now generate the commands needed to load the I2C modules. Sometimes, a chip is available both through the ISA bus and an I2C bus. ISA bus access is faster, but you need to load an additional driver module for it. If you have the choice, do you want to use the ISA bus or the I2C/SMBus (ISA/smbus)? isa To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add these lines to /etc/modules.conf: #----cut here---- # I2C module options alias char-major-89 i2c-dev #----cut here---- To load everything that is needed, add this to some /etc/rc* file: #----cut here---- # I2C adapter drivers modprobe i2c-nforce2 modprobe i2c-isa # I2C chip drivers modprobe eeprom modprobe w83627hf # sleep 2 # optional /usr/local/bin/sensors -s # recommended #----cut here---- WARNING! If you have some things built into your kernel, the list above will contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones! You really should try these commands right now to make sure everything is working properly. Monitoring programs won't work until it's done. Do you want to generate /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors? (YES/no): yes Copy prog/init/lm_sensors.init to /etc/rc.d/init.d/lm_sensors for initialization at boot time. =========================================================== =========================================================== Here's my /etc/rc.d/rc.modules: ==================================================== ==================================================== ### Update module dependencies ### RELEASE=`uname -r` VERSION=`kernelversion` # If /usr is mounted and we have 'find', we can try to take a shortcut: if [ -x /usr/bin/find -a -e /lib/modules/$RELEASE/modules.dep \ -a /lib/modules/$RELEASE/modules.dep -nt /etc/modules.conf ]; then NEWMODS="`/usr/bin/find /lib/modules/$RELEASE -type f -newer /lib/modules/$RELEASE/modules.dep`" # Only rebuild dependencies if new module(s) are found: if [ !
