Hello everyone. I'm having troubles getting lm_sensors to work. My dist is Gentoo 2006.1, gentoo-kernel 2.6.18-r6, the motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-6???? something. I can lookup the exact model if you like. lm_sensors 2.10.1 The problems is that the computer hangs if I run sensors-detect and select to scan the SMBus PIIx4 adapter. It completly stops responding and I have to reset it. sensors-detect also reports: Trying family `ITE'... Yes Found unknown chip with ID 0xdf0e If I load the it87 module the computer also hangs. Below is the output from sensors-detect: # sensors-detect revision 4171 (2006-09-24 03:37:01 -0700) We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters. Do you want to probe now? (YES/no): Probing for PCI bus adapters... Use driver `i2c-piix4' for device 0000:00:0f.0: ServerWorks OSB4 South Bridge We will now try to load each adapter module in turn.
