Subject: 2.4.12-ac, lm-sensors broken ??


Hi,

I use the lm-sensors on my system, it works fine with 2.2.20pre and 2.4.13 but
not with the ac tree, is there any reason for that ? I compile the i2c and
lm-sensors package as modules outside the kernel. The .config are the same for
both the kernels. The various modules (w83781d i2c-proc i2c-isa i2c-core) loads
fine with both systems.

with 2.4.12-ac5

I use it quite nicely on 2.4.12-ac3 the latest i2c stack is already in the
ac branch, you need not compile it on your own. lm sensors version 2.6.1 and
up is supported. Just compile and install it. (make;make install).

So I've done : get rid of the external i2c package, compiled the built-in i2c
stack. make and make install for the lm_sensors (2.6.1)...
... It does not work

in /proc/sys/dev/sensors/ I've only one empty file called chips

with 2.4.13, I've the following :

[root@debian-f5ibh] ~ # ls /proc/sys/dev/sensors/
chips
w83781d-isa-0290/

[root@debian-f5ibh] ~ # cat /proc/sys/dev/sensors/chips
256 w83781d-isa-0290

[root@debian-f5ibh] ~ # ls /proc/sys/dev/sensors/w83781d-isa-0290/
alarms beep fan1 fan2 fan3 fan_div in0 in1 in2 in3 in4 in5 in6 rt1

As I wrote, version is 2.6.1
w83781d-isa-0290, there is _no_ modules with this name !
The needed modules are i2c-core, i2c-isa, i2c-proc, w83781d. They are loaded.

This is the clue. Without PnPBIOS enabled, the sensors work again. Thanks.


Alan, is there any known incompatiblity between PnPBIOS and the lm-sensors ?
