Hello,
I ran sensors-detect, and it told me to load the modules coretemp and
f71882fg. I added those to /etc/modules, and restarted my computer.
Although coretemp loaded fine, f71882fg did not. Furthermore, I don't
think it detected the thermal monitor on my NVIDA GeForce 9800 GTX+,
which I know exists because nvidia-settings displays the temperature of
the device.
When I run "sudo modprobe f71882fg", I get the following output:
FATAL: Error inserting f71882fg
(/lib/modules/2.6.27-9-generic/kernel/drivers/hwmon/f71882fg.ko): Device or resource busy
The following allows is outputted to dmesg:
[66032.953156] f71882fg: Not a Fintek device
[66032.953206] f71882fg: Found F71882FG chip at 0x290, revision

The output of sensors-detect is as follows:

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):
Probing for PCI bus adapters...
Found unknown SMBus adapter 10de:0aa2 at 0000:00:03.2.
Sorry, no supported PCI bus adapters found.
If you have undetectable or unsupported I2C/SMBus 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.
Do you want to load `i2c-dev' now? (YES/no):
Module loaded successfully.
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: NVIDIA i2c adapter (i2c-0)
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively):
Client found at address 0x50
Probing for `Analog Devices ADM1033'... No
Probing for `Analog Devices ADM1034'... No
Probing for `SPD EEPROM'... No
Probing for `EDID EEPROM'... Yes
(confidence 8, not a hardware monitoring chip)
Next adapter: NVIDIA i2c adapter (i2c-1)
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively):
Next adapter: NVIDIA i2c adapter (i2c-2)
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively):
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):
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 `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):
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f
Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No
Trying family `SMSC'... No
Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Fintek'... No
Trying family `ITE'... No
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x4e/0x4f
Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No
Trying family `SMSC'... No
Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Fintek'... Yes
Found `Fintek F71882FG/F71883FG Super IO Sensors'
Success!
(address 0x295, driver `f71882fg')
Some south bridges, CPUs or memory controllers may also contain
embedded sensors. Do you want to scan for them? (YES/no):
Silicon Integrated Systems SIS5595... No
VIA VT82C686 Integrated Sensors... No
VIA VT8231 Integrated Sensors... No
AMD K8 thermal sensors... No
AMD K10 thermal sensors... No
Intel Core family thermal sensor...
Success!
(driver `coretemp')
Intel AMB FB-DIMM thermal sensor... No
Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Just press ENTER to continue:
Driver `f71882fg' (should be inserted):
Detects correctly:
* ISA bus, address 0x295
Chip `Fintek F71882FG/F71883FG Super IO
Sensors' (confidence: 9)
Driver `coretemp' (should be inserted):
Detects correctly:
* Chip `Intel Core family thermal sensor' (confidence: 9)
I will now generate the commands needed to load the required
modules.
Just press ENTER to continue:
To load everything that is needed, add this to /etc/modules:
#----cut here----
# Chip drivers
f71882fg
coretemp
#----cut here----
Do you want to add these lines automatically? (yes/NO)
The output of "sudo isadump 0x295 0x296":
WARNING! Running this program can cause system crashes, data
loss and worse!
I will probe address register 0x295 and data register 0x296.

My motherboard is an EVGA nForce 730i.
I'm using sensors version 3.0.2 with libsensors 3.0.2.
My Linux kernel version is 2.6.27, compiled for x86_64.
Does anyone know how to solve these problems? I can provide more
information, and can test some things if needed.
Thank you,
Malcolm
