Description Ted Kaczmarek 2003-09-01 11:51:53 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030701
Epiphany/0.9.2

Description of problem:
This applies to all kernel versions since w83781d was brought in from the
lm_sensors project.

The subclients of w83781d are never registered with i2c_attach_client(). But,
w83781d_detach_client() tries to i2c_detach_client() them anyway. This was
harmless, until i2c-core was "listified"... because the old array method
silently ignored the attempt to detach a non-existent client.
The latest lm_sensors CVS of w83781d has the necessary i2c_attach_client() calls
- not sure why they were removed during conversion to 2.5.x. Do we intend to
attach these subclients or not?

Still happening with Fedora Core 1 and kernel-smp-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl.

Comment 2 Bugzilla owner 2004-09-30 15:41:29 UTC
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
