Hi Jean,
I am having what I believe is a similar problem to what Sean had. I have an HP pavilion desktop computer. I couldn't get sensors-detect to work with my smsc47m1 driver to work until I downloaded and built your modified one. Once I installed it, I got the following snippet from sensors-detect:
----------------------------------------------------------
Some Super I/O chips contain embedded 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 `National Semiconductor'... No
Trying family `SMSC'... Yes
Found `SMSC LPC47M15x/192/997 Super IO Fan Sensors' Success!
(address 0x600, driver `smsc47m1')
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x4e/0x4f
Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No
Trying family `SMSC'... No
Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Nuvoton/Fintek'... No
Trying family `ITE'... No
----------------------------------------------------------
However, at the end I get:
----------------------------------------------------------
Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Just press ENTER to continue:
Driver `smsc47m1':
* ISA bus, address 0x600
Chip `SMSC LPC47M15x/192/997 Super IO Fan Sensors' (confidence: 9)
Do you want to overwrite /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors? (YES/no): y
Starting lm_sensors: loading module smsc47m1 No sensors found!
Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need.
Try sensors-detect to find out which these are.
[FAILED]
Unloading i2c-dev... OK
----------------------------------------------------------
If I answer no to the last question, and try to run modprobe manually, I get:
----------------------------------------------------------
[root@Backup-P4 smsc47m1_driver]# modprobe smsc47m1
FATAL: Error inserting smsc47m1 (/lib/modules/2.6.31.9-174.fc12.i686.PAE/kernel/drivers/hwmon/smsc47m1.ko): Device or resource busy
----------------------------------------------------------
The log file "messages" has the following:
----------------------------------------------------------
Jan 18 23:06:51 localhost kernel: i2c /dev entries driver
Jan 18 23:07:05 localhost kernel: smsc47m1: Found SMSC LPC47M15x/LPC47M192/LPC47M997

-0x65f]
Jan 18 23:07:05 localhost kernel: ACPI: If an ACPI driver is available for this device, you should use it instead
of the native driver
----------------------------------------------------------
I'm running Fedora Core kernel 2.6.31.9-174.fc12.i686.PAE
Do you have any ideas? I really appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Bob
