Hi, I have an Intel DG965RY Desktop Board. I am curious as to what the support is for the 'unknown' chip(s) (with ID 0x7401) listed here in this sensors-detect output. I am running kernel 2.6.18-rc6 without any chip modules loaded. Note I also have a BTTV framegrabber board, so that is accounting for some output. Thanks, Andrew conroe:/home/andrew# perl "sensors-detect?format=txt" # sensors-detect revision $Revision$ This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. 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. Do you want to probe now? (YES/no): Y Probing for PCI bus adapters... Use driver `i2c-i801' for device 0000:00:1f.3: Intel ICH8 We will now try to load each adapter module in turn. Module `i2c-i801' already loaded. If you have undetectable or unsupported adapters, you can have them scanned by manually loading the modules before running this script. We are now going to do the I2C/SMBus adapter probings. Some chips may 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. Next adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at 2000 Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): Y Client found at address 0x08 Client found at address 0x30 Client found at address 0x44 Probing for `Maxim MAX6633/MAX6634/MAX6635'... No Client found at address 0x50 Handled by driver `eeprom' (already loaded), chip type `eeprom' Client found at address 0x69 Next adapter: bt878 #0 [sw] Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): Y Client found at address 0x40 Handled by driver `msp3400' (already loaded), chip type `MSP3445G-B8' (note: this is probably NOT a sensor chip!) Client found at address 0x50 Handled by driver `tveeprom' (already loaded), chip type `tveeprom' (note: this is probably NOT a sensor chip!) Client found at address 0x60 Handled by driver `tuner' (already loaded), chip type `Temic PAL* auto (4006 FN5)' (note: this is probably NOT a sensor chip!) Some chips are also accessible through the ISA I/O ports. We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (YES/no): Y Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' at 0x290... No Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78-J' at 0x290... No Probing for `National Semiconductor LM79' at 0x290... No Probing for `Winbond W83781D' at 0x290... No Probing for `Winbond W83782D' at 0x290... No Probing for `Winbond W83627HF' at 0x290... No Probing for `Silicon Integrated Systems SIS5595'... No Probing for `VIA VT82C686 Integrated Sensors'... No Probing for `VIA VT8231 Integrated Sensors'... No Probing for `AMD K8 thermal sensors'... No Probing for `IPMI BMC KCS' at 0xca0... No Probing for `IPMI BMC SMIC' at 0xca8... No Some Super I/O chips may also contain sensors. We have to write to standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe. Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no): Y Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f Trying family `ITE'... Yes Found unknown chip with ID 0x7401 Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No Trying family `SMSC'... Yes Found unknown chip with ID 0x7401 Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Fintek'... No Probing for Super-I/O at 0x4e/0x4f Trying family `ITE'... No Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No Trying family `SMSC'... No Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Fintek'... No 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 I801 adapter at 2000' Busdriver `i2c-i801', I2C address 0x50 Chip `eeprom' (confidence: 6) EEPROMs are *NOT* sensors! They are data storage chips commonly found on memory modules (SPD), in monitors (EDID), or in some laptops, for example. I will now generate the commands needed to load the required modules. Just press ENTER to continue: 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-i801 # Chip drivers modprobe eeprom # sleep 2 # optional /usr/local/bin/sensors -s # recommended #----cut here---- If you have some drivers 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 the needed modules are loaded. Do you want to generate /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors? (yes/NO): N
