Description

Super I/O properly detected as wb83627dhg by sensors-detect. Designated module, w83627ehf doesn't load, erroring out with:

FATAL: Error inserting w83627ehf (/lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/kernel/drivers/hwmon/w83627ehf.ko): No such device

Other detected chips, wb83791d & i2c-i801 load fine. I am available to test updated code.

OS is Kubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04. Kernel is as specified, 2.6.20-15-generic. MB is Asus Commando. CPU is Core2Duo e6600.

  • keywords w83627dhg added; wb83627dhg removed
  • status changed from new to closed
  • resolution set to fixed
  • summary changed from Designated Module Supporting WB83627dhg (w83627ehf) Doesn't Load to Designated Module Supporting W83627dhg (w83627ehf) Doesn't Load

The w83627ehf driver only supports the W83627DHG chip since kernel 2.6.21, as documented in our wiki:

 http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices

So the behavior you observe is expected, you simply need to upgrade your kernel.

That being said, if you also have a W83791D/G on your motherboard, it is very possible that the hardware monitoring features of the W83627DHG are not (fully) used anyway.
