HP Presario V2042 Laptop

[ticket]

I'm running ubuntu feisty and I've been trying for some time now to get lm_sensors to work with absolutely no success whatever. I run sensor-detect and it finds some devices, but when I load the modules and such sensors and sensors -s comes back with no sensors found. I've tried running sensor-detect several times, tried loading modules that I thought might help, then tried loading as many as I could- still ng. As you can tell its really starting to drive me nuts! I have a few devices which appears you may not have drivers for and this may be the reason why nothing works. What I'm wondering is if this diagnosis could be confirmed, and/or if I may be able to make some sensor software work or help in the production of drivers to make it all work.

Here are my readings:

sensor-detect # sensors-detect revision 4171 (2006-09-24 03:37:01 -0700)

This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. 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. Do you want to probe now? (YES/no): y Probing for PCI bus adapters... Use driver `i2c-i801' for device 0000:00:1f.3: Intel 82801DB ICH4

We will now try to load each adapter module in turn. Module `i2c-i801' already loaded. If you have undetectable or unsupported adapters, you can have them scanned by manually loading the modules before running this script.

We are now going to do the I2C/SMBus adapter probings. Some chips may 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.

Next adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at 1880 Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): y Client found at address 0x30 Client found at address 0x50 Handled by driver eeprom' (already loaded), chip type eeprom' Client found at address 0x51 Handled by driver eeprom' (already loaded), chip type eeprom' Client found at address 0x69

Some chips are also accessible through the ISA I/O ports. We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (YES/no): y Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' at 0x290... No Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78-J' at 0x290... No Probing for `National Semiconductor LM79' at 0x290... No Probing for `Winbond W83781D' at 0x290... No Probing for `Winbond W83782D' at 0x290... No Probing for `Winbond W83627HF' at 0x290... No Probing for `Silicon Integrated Systems SIS5595'... No Probing for `VIA VT82C686 Integrated Sensors'... No Probing for `VIA VT8231 Integrated Sensors'... No Probing for `AMD K8 thermal sensors'... No Probing for `IPMI BMC KCS' at 0xca0... No Probing for `IPMI BMC SMIC' at 0xca8... No

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): y Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f Trying family `ITE'... Yes Found unknown chip with ID 0xec11 Trying family `National Semiconductor'... Yes Found `Nat. Semi. PC87591 Super IO'

(but not activated)

Trying family `SMSC'... Yes Found unknown chip with ID 0xec11 Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Fintek'... Yes Found unknown chip with ID 0xec11 Probing for Super-I/O at 0x4e/0x4f Trying family `ITE'... No Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No Trying family `SMSC'... No Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Fintek'... No

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 I801 adapter at 1880' Busdriver `i2c-i801', I2C address 0x50 Chip `eeprom' (confidence: 6)
• Bus `SMBus I801 adapter at 1880' Busdriver `i2c-i801', I2C address 0x51 Chip `eeprom' (confidence: 6)

EEPROMs are *NOT* sensors! They are data storage chips commonly found on memory modules (SPD), in monitors (EDID), or in some laptops, for example.

I will now generate the commands needed to load the required modules. Just press ENTER to continue:

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

#----cut here---- # I2C adapter drivers i2c-i801 # Chip drivers eeprom #----cut here----

Do you want to add these lines to /etc/modules automatically? (yes/NO)n

If you require any further information please don't hesitate to ask- this box is a testbed atm so I'm happy to help in any way.

Please download the latest version of the lm-sensors package and rerun sensors-detect.
