This used to work in fedora core 1 Additional info:
It seems that both the i2c_viapro and i2c_isa modules get loaded as well as the via686a module. According to the lm_sensors web site the via686a module NO longer works with i2c_viapro, however it used to in kernel 2.4. I am not sure that this will be fixed or if it will remain a bug. Sensors seem to be working again though after removing the i2c_viapro module and reloading the via686a module.
Did you give newer versions of the lm_sensors package a try to see if it has been fixed already upstream? I mean, if they know that a certain combination won't work it shouldn't be that hard to do the right thing then. Read ya, Phil
I do run up2date, so if there is a new package in up2date then I have it. However I also have removed the i2c_viapro module from my kernel ( recompiled without it). Since it is working, I have not retried. I only use the sensors to run the wmsesnsors applet to get an idea of if my CPU is overheating or not.
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.
You can close this. I've upgraded to FC3 and my sensors are working fine. Except my sensors applit which crashes, but that's another issue.
