Config. lines for max1617 (?) (Examined/Solved - lm_sensors-2.4.4 Linux-2.2.17-ide)

[contact]

After sucessfully compiling and installing lm_sensors and launching it, I get

guepard:~# sensors

eeprom-i2c-0-51

Adapter: SMBus vt82c596 adapter at 5000

Algorithm: Non-I2C SMBus adapter

max1617-i2c-0-18

Adapter: SMBus vt82c596 adapter at 5000

Algorithm: Non-I2C SMBus adapter

temp: 0 C (limit: 0 C, hysteresis: 4 C) remote_temp:

0 C (limit: 60 C, hysteresis: 0 C) ALARM (N/A)

Visibly there is sole thing wrong. I suspect this is because there is no

configuration lines corresponding to the chips eeprom and max1617 (which are

detected by sensors-detect) in the defaults configuration file. So the

question is: how to create these lines. I have absolutely no idea. Please help

me. --- First of all, 2.4.4 is a pretty old version, you should get the

latest from our web site. In the newer versions you have

more output for eeprom.

sensors.conf is not your problem. You only need entries in

sensors.conf to set different limit/hysteresis values or to

do conversions.

I suspect that you don't really have a max1617 chip.

Look at your motherboard to be sure.

Perhaps the newer version will be able to correctly

identify the chip if you don't have a 1617.

Also send us the full output of 'sensors-detect' and the output

of 'prog/dump/i2cdump 0 0x18'

Follow up by sending mail to sensors@…

and referencing ticket #411.
