https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=282667 Summary: Sensors from 'ITE IT8716F Super I/O chip cannot' be read (MB = ASUS M2N-E) Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: ingo.steiner@gmx.net QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: ingo.steiner@gmx.net I am unable to read/display sensor values from my ASUS N2N-E motherboard. CPU = AMD 64 4200+X2, Chipset = nForce 570-Ultra. sensors version 2.10.1 with libsensors version 2.10.1 have run sensors-detect, output is: ---- snip ---- 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 `ITE'... Yes Found `ITE IT8716F Super IO Sensors' Success! (address 0x290, driver `it87') ----- snip------- Summary reports: --snip------ Driver `k8temp' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * ISA bus, undetermined address (Busdriver `i2c-isa') Chip `AMD K8 thermal sensors' (confidence: 9) Driver `it87' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * ISA bus address 0x0290 (Busdriver `i2c-isa') Chip `ITE IT8716F Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9) ----snip------- these lines are in /etc/modprobe.conf: #----snip---- # I2C module options alias char-major-89 i2c-dev #----snip---- /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors looks like this: -----snip------ # Generated by sensors-detect on Thu Jun 7 23:03:43 2007 # MODULE_0=k8temp MODULE_0=it87 -----snip-------- Remark: I had to comment out 'k8temp', because module is not available with kernel 2.6.18.8-0.3 /etc/init.d/lm_sensors has been setup correctly by 'sensors-detect' and I can load manually the module it87.ko. /etc/senssors.conf is correct as well. Output of lsmod is like this: Module Size Used by i2c_dev 12932 0 it87 24228 0 hwmon_vid 6784 1 it87 hwmon 7428 1 it87 i2c_isa 9344 1 it87 -------snip------- i2c_nforce2 11136 0 -------snip------- However checking the sensors fails: pp:/etc/init.d # sensors No sensors found! Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need. Try sensors-detect to find out which these are. or trying this: pp:/etc/init.d # sensors -c /etc/sensors.conf it8716-* Specified sensor(s) not found! At every boot I get the message about failing with loading lm_sensors. It is activated in the Runlevel-Editor, but never loaded automatically at boot. I definitely got all setup correctly (works fine under 64-bit Ubuntu feisty with kernel 2.6.20) If any additional info is needed, please advise, Ingo -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
