I am a bit at loss about what is going on. MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() resolves to nothing if the driver is built into the kernel (as opposed to built as a module). Other drivers don't get a warning because the IDs are also used by the driver itself, but for a reason unknown to me [1], this driver registers itself as a platform driver rather than a PCI driver, and thus can't point to PCI IDs. You can reproduce the warning by building your kernel with: CONFIG_SENSORS_I5K_AMB=y The fix should be as easy as embracing the declaration of i5k_amb_ids with a #ifdef MODULE/#endif pair. [1] Might as well be that I knew it but forgot by now. -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
