I'm on an older kernel, and I can't seem to compile the driver
from:
http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/lm-sensors/drivers/w83627ehf/
[root@plain1 driver]# uname -a
Linux plain1 2.6.18-274.el5 #1 SMP Fri Jul 22 04:43:29 EDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

/root/driver/w83627ehf.c:416: error: implicit declaration of function `DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST'
... [many more errors and warnings]
This driver was never tested for kernels older than 2.6.32. More
compatibility work would be needed to get it to build and work on
kernel 2.6.18.
I'm wondering if maybe Redhat can provide a backported version as a
separate package? You're probably not the only one asking for this, as
this is a popular driver.
I've already done a backport of the w83627ehf for RHEL5 and RHEL6, and
it is packaged as a kABI-tracking kmod RPM package (kmod-w83627ehf) in
the elrepo repository.
http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-w83627ehf
This driver is backported from the longterm kernel-3.2.50.
Once you have set up the elrepo repository:
yum install kmod-w83627ehf
will pull in the updated driver.
Further, because it's a kABI-tracking package the driver will seamlessly
work with new kernels so you will not need to recompile the driver
against each new kernel update (an advantage of Red Hat's stable kernel
ABI).

Phil
Thank you very much, Phil.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to quite like my system,
The RPM installed fine, but "sensors" only shows coretemp, not the chip.
Finally I checked the module - something isn't right:
[root@tm3 etc]# modprobe w83627ehf
FATAL: Error inserting w83627ehf (/lib/modules/2.6.18-274.el5/weak-updates/w83627ehf/w83627ehf.ko): No such device
Hi,
I'm not sure what the problem is. One thing I note is that you are
running an older RHEL 5.7 kernel. Would it be possible to try
booting the latest/current RHEL kernel to at least eliminate that as
the possible cause (i.e, a RHEL 5.9 kernel;
kernel-2.6.18-348.16.1.el5 is the latest).
Maybe the chip in question is not supported by the backported version
of the driver.
Guenter
Hi Guenter,
It should be (unless maybe it's being mis-detected by sensors-detect?).
The backport is from kernel-3.2.48 LT branch which contains the patch to
add support for the W83627UHG chip, as reported by sensors-detect above.
Phil
