Hi, the mobo has nforce430 (MCP51) chipset. sensors-detect tells me the it87 driver should be the right one, but it doesn't seem to help: lsmod: Module Size Used by i2c_dev 9992 0 it87 23140 0 hwmon_vid 3456 1 it87 i2c_isa 4736 1 it87 eeprom 6736 0 loop 57172 0 powernow_k8 12640 1 i2c_nforce2 7488 0 nvidia 5424340 12 i2c_core 19776 6 i2c_dev,it87,i2c_isa,eeprom,i2c_nforce2,nvidia sensors: Can't access procfs/sysfs file Unable to find i2c bus information; For 2.6 kernels, make sure you have mounted sysfs and libsensors was compiled with sysfs support! For older kernels, make sure you have done 'modprobe i2c-proc'! I am using 2.6.18-rc4 kernel with lm-sensors 2.10.0 Any idea what to do? Thx. # sensors-detect revision 1.413 (2006/01/19 20:28:00) 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): Probing for PCI bus adapters... Sorry, no PCI bus adapters found. We will now try to load each adapter module in turn. 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: NVIDIA I2C Device Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): Next adapter: NVIDIA I2C Device Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): Client found at address 0x50 Probing for `SPD EEPROM'... Success! (confidence 1, driver `eeprom') Probing for `DDC monitor'... Success! (confidence 8, driver `eeprom'), other addresses: 0x51 0x52 0x53 0x54 0x55 0x56 0x57 Probing for `Maxim MAX6900'... Failed! Next adapter: NVIDIA I2C Device Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): Next adapter: SMBus nForce2 adapter at 4c40 Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): Client found at address 0x08 Next adapter: SMBus nForce2 adapter at 4c00 Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): Client found at address 0x08 Client at address 0x52 can not be probed - unload all client drivers first! Client at address 0x53 can not be probed - unload all client drivers first! 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? (YES/no): Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' Trying address 0x0290... Failed! Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78-J' Trying address 0x0290... Failed!

Probing for `IPMI BMC SMIC' Trying address 0x0ca8... Failed! Some Super I/O chips may also contain sensors. Super I/O 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 for Super I/O sensors?

(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 `NVIDIA I2C Device' Busdriver `UNKNOWN', I2C address 0x50 (and 0x51 0x52 0x53 0x54 0x55 0x56 0x57) Chip `DDC monitor' (confidence: 8) Driver `it87' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * ISA bus address 0x0290 (Busdriver `i2c-isa') Chip `ITE IT8712F' (confidence: 8) I will now generate the commands needed to load the I2C modules. If you want to load the modules at startup, generate a config file below and make sure lm_sensors gets started at boot time; e.g $ rc-update add lm_sensors default To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add these lines to /etc/modules.d/lm_sensors and run modules-update: #----cut here---- # I2C module options alias char-major-89 i2c-dev #----end 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. To load everything that is needed, execute the commands below... #----cut here---- # I2C adapter drivers # modprobe unknown adapter NVIDIA I2C Device # modprobe unknown adapter NVIDIA I2C Device # modprobe unknown adapter NVIDIA I2C Device modprobe i2c-isa # I2C chip drivers modprobe eeprom modprobe it87 # sleep 2 # optional /usr/bin/sensors -s # recommended #----end cut here---- Do you want to overwrite /etc/conf.d/lm_sensors? Enter s to specify other file name? (yes/NO/s): -- (?= =?) //\ Prakash Punnoor /\\ V_/ \_V -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
