no sensors on ASUS A7VC

[corfiot_von_grek@…]

Hi, I tried both via686a and w83781d and got no sensors. There is no newer BIOS available for my mboard.

detect found via686a

via686a complains about the need to force an address but i can't find one. If i force a random address i get sensor results but they are bogus.

I then tried w83781d after reading some posts online:

modprobe w83781d force_as99127f=0,0x2d <-- no sensors

modprobe w83781d force_as99127f=0,0x2d <-- duplicate subsensor 48, no sensors

Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Hi,

Sorry for the delay. Please can you attach the sensors-detect output?

server:~ # sensors-detect

This program will help you determine which I2C/SMBus modules you need to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. You need to have i2c and lm_sensors installed before running this program. Also, you need to be `root', or at least have access to the /dev/i2c-* files, for most things. If you have patched your kernel and have some drivers built in, you can safely answer NO if asked to load some modules. In this case, things may seem a bit confusing, but they will still work.

It is generally safe and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions, unless you know what you're doing.

We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters. You do not need any special privileges for this. Do you want to probe now? (YES/no): yes

Probing for PCI bus adapters... Use driver `to-be-written' for device 01:00.0: S3 ProSavage? KM Use driver `i2c-viapro' for device 00:07.4: VIA Technologies VT82C686 Apollo ACPI Probe succesfully concluded.

We will now try to load each adapter module in turn. Load `to-be-written' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): yes FATAL: Module to_be_written not found. Loading failed... skipping. Load `i2c-viapro' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): yes Module loaded succesfully. If you have undetectable or unsupported adapters, you can have them scanned by manually loading the modules before running this script.

To continue, we need module `i2c-dev' to be loaded. If it is built-in into your kernel, you can safely skip this. i2c-dev is not loaded. Do you want to load it now? (YES/no): yes Module loaded succesfully.

We are now going to do the adapter probings. Some adapters may hang halfway through; we can't really help that. Also, some chips will be double detected; we choose the one with the highest confidence value in that case. If you found that the adapter hung after probing a certain address, you can specify that address to remain unprobed. That often includes address 0x69 (clock chip).

Some chips are also accessible through the ISA bus. ISA probes are typically a bit more dangerous, as we have to write to I/O ports to do this. This is usually safe though.

Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done. Just press ENTER to continue:

Driver `eeprom' (should be inserted):

Detects correctly:

• Bus `SMBus Via Pro adapter at e800' (Algorithm unavailable) Busdriver `i2c-viapro', I2C address 0x50 Chip `SPD EEPROM' (confidence: 8)
• Bus `SMBus Via Pro adapter at e800' (Algorithm unavailable) Busdriver `i2c-viapro', I2C address 0x51 Chip `SPD EEPROM' (confidence: 8)

Driver `to-be-written' (should be inserted):

Detects correctly:

• Bus `SMBus Via Pro adapter at e800' (Algorithm unavailable) Busdriver `i2c-viapro', I2C address 0x77 Chip `Asus AS2K129R Mozart-2' (confidence: 5)

Driver `via686a' (should be inserted):

Detects correctly:

• ISA bus, undetermined address (Busdriver `i2c-isa')

Hint: Try forcing the chip address. Consult the documentation of particular chip for details and address value.

Chip `VIA Technologies VT82C686 Integrated Sensors' (confidence: 9)

I will now generate the commands needed to load the I2C modules. Sometimes, a chip is available both through the ISA bus and an I2C bus. ISA bus access is faster, but you need to load an additional driver module for it. If you have the choice, do you want to use the ISA bus or the I2C/SMBus (ISA/smbus)? smbus

To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add these lines to /etc/modprobe.conf:

#----cut here---- # I2C module options alias char-major-89 i2c-dev #----cut here----

To load everything that is needed, add this to some /etc/rc* file:

#----cut here---- # I2C adapter drivers modprobe i2c-viapro modprobe i2c-isa # I2C chip drivers modprobe eeprom # no driver for Asus AS2K129R Mozart-2 yet modprobe via686a # sleep 2 # optional /usr/bin/sensors -s # recommended #----cut here----

WARNING! If you have some things built into your kernel, the list above will contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones! You really should try these commands right now to make sure everything is working properly. Monitoring programs won't work until it's done.

Do you want to generate /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors? (YES/no): yes Copy /usr/share/doc/packages/sensors/prog/init/lm_sensors.init.suse to /etc/init.d/lm_sensors for initialization at boot time. server:~ #

Hello, you need the asm58 driver. We have one for 2.6.15. It never made it into mainline. You just need this patch  http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2006-March/015735.html

Hope it helps,

Regards
