Description Oleg Makarenko 2005-01-17 18:21:58 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5)
Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0

Description of problem:
If you don't edit /etc/sensors.conf sensors doesn't show any values.

If you edit the /etc/sensosr.conf to recognize it8712 (add the chip
it8712-* section) sensors -s complains then on wrong values in
sensors.conf :

#sensors -s

Error: Line 1402: Unknown feature name
Error: Line 1403: Unknown feature name

for all lines in sensors.conf like:
set in0_min ...
set in0_max ...
etc etc


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
lm_sensors-2.8.7-2 kernel-2.6.10-1.741-FC3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Update the kernel to 2.6.10-*
2. run sensors -s
3. update /etc/sensors.conf for chip it8712-* and rerun sensors -s
    

Actual Results:  sensors doesn't work, doesn't show any values

Expected Results:  Current voltage, temperature and fan sensors values.

Additional info:

kernel 2.6.10 changes it87 name to it8712 for it8712 chip. Previosly
all it87* were named it87.

That change requires corresponding update for lm_sensors package (both
for /etc/sensors.conf and for the libsensors)

Quick grepping of the latest lm_sensors-2.9.0.tar.gz shows that it
supports it8712 so probably the simple package update will do

Problem is resolved by:  modprobe it87 force_it87=9191,0xd00

:
# Attach of sensors module IT8712F with fixed parameters #for it87 (ISA,0xd00):
modprobe it87 force_it87=9191,0xd00

Thanks all - changing the reference from it87 to it8712 in
/etc/sensors.conf and loading the it87 module with
'force_it87=9191,0x290' worked for me with a Gigabyte GA-8PE667 Ultra
board.

FC-Devel now contains lm_sensors-2.9.1 which seems to fix the problem.

Read ya, Phil
