You would need to use -mm kernels, or to pick and apply the patch by yourself: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/gregkh/gregkh-2.6/gregkh-02-i2c/i2c-piix4-add-ati-smbus-support.patch But if you aren't familiar with kernel compilation, it's easier to add the device ID dynamically. Try (as root): modprobe i2c-piix4 echo "1002 4353" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/piix4_smbus/new_id echo "1002 4363" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/piix4_smbus/new_id echo "1002 4372" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/piix4_smbus/new_id Then sensors-detect should be able to probe your SMBus. There may or may not be chips connected to it. The rest of the detections show no hardware monitoring chips, so this is your last hope. If there is no hardware monitoring chip on the SMBus either, try ACPI. -- Jean Delvare
