Hi Jean, i have now applied the patches you told me.

Ok now with the patches, two EEPROMS and some other devices were found... What devices are at address 0x08, 0x0c, 0x22, 0x2e, 0x30, 0x31 and 0x50 ?? Is there an device for the other fan's ? snip-==================== sensors-detect # sensors-detect revision 4112 (2006-08-25 21:59:29 +0200 (Fr, 25 Aug 2006)) 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 `i2c-nforce2' for device 00:01.1: nVidia Corporation nForce4 SMBus (MCP55) Probe successfully concluded. We will now try to load each adapter module in turn. Module `i2c-nforce2' already loaded. 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 already loaded. 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).

Just press ENTER to continue: Driver `eeprom' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * Bus `SMBus nForce2 adapter at 1c00' Busdriver `i2c-nforce2', I2C address 0x50 Chip `SPD EEPROM' (confidence: 8) * Bus `SMBus nForce2 adapter at 1c00' Busdriver `i2c-nforce2', I2C address 0x51 Chip `SPD EEPROM' (confidence: 8) EEPROMs are *NOT* sensors! They are data storage chips commonly found on memory modules (SPD), in monitors (EDID), or in some laptops, for example. Driver `k8temp' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * ISA bus, undetermined address (Busdriver `i2c-isa') Hint: Try forcing the chip address. Consult the documentation of particular chip for details and address value. Chip `AMD K8 thermal sensors' (confidence: 9) Driver `it87' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * ISA bus address 0x0290 (Busdriver `i2c-isa') Chip `ITE IT8716F Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9) I will now generate the commands needed to load the required modules. 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 # Chip drivers modprobe eeprom # Warning: the required module k8temp is not currently installed on your system. # For status of 2.6 kernel ports see http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/SupportedDevices # If driver is built-in to the kernel, or unavailable, comment out the following line. modprobe k8temp modprobe it87 # 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): no snap =================== ==== Juergen
