Upgrade to 2.6.10-1.737_FC3 : No sensors found !

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: Until kernel 2.6.9-1.724_FC3 I was able to monitoring CPU & sys temps using lm_sensors (MB Abit KT7-RAID) loading i2c-isa and via686a modules. Then the upgrade to kernel 2.6.10-1.737_FC3 and now when start the lm_sensors service I receive a "No sensors found!", same with the more recent kernel 2.6.10-1.741_FC3. If booting under the old 2.6.9 kernel the sensors come back. lm_sensors version is 2.8.7-2 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.10-1.737_FC3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot kernel 2.6.10-1.737_FC3 or 2.6.10-1.741_FC3 2. start lm_sensors service Actual Results: No sensors found ! [FAILURE] Expected Results: If kernel is 2.6.9-1.724_FC3 all works, the temp sensors are readable Additional info: Hardware: Abit KT7-RAID w/ VIA VT82C686A lm_sensors is loading MODULE_0: i2c_isa MODULE_1: via686a
Same thing here. Abit VP6 with VIA 686A.
More info. It is possible to get things working by rmmod'ing all of the lm_sensors-related modules and then starting lm_sensors. This seems to be related to the fact that *something* is causing the i2c_core and i2c_viapro modules to be loaded before the lm_sensors script is run. (If I disable lm_sensors and reboot my system, these two modules are loaded anyway.)
rmmod'ing doesn't work for me. And I don't get "No sensors found" either. Output from sensors is only it8712-isa-0290 Adapter: ISA adapter My configuration is ASUS A7V600, lm_sensors modules it87 and i2c-isa. BTW i2c_core is also used by bttv.
Have the same problem on Soltek 75KAV. sensors on kernel 2.6.9-1.724 displated info on via686a sensors (temperature, fan speed, etc) but no SDRAM memory info. After upgrade to kernel 2.6.10-1.741 via sensors are missing but SDRAM memory info is displayed. Both kernels show presence of Bt878 chip on TV card. Driver load order had changed?
I've verified vanilla 2.6.10 kernel has the same problem.
I suggest opening a bug at http://bugzilla.kernel.org.
Opened. Bug # 4181

I just added i2c-viapro to the blacklist and now the sensors are back again under 2.6.10 . similar problems on ASUS and SOLTEK boards not powered by via chipsets but equally accessing its sensors thru the isa bus have to blacklist the corresponding conflict module until 2.6.11 fix that.
Following fix from Bug # 145350 works for me: modprobe it87 force_it87=9191,0x290
Shouldn't this bug be closed?
