Description of problem: This no longer works: # modprobe i2c-dev Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): I don't know which component. This worked in Fedora 8 that was current Dec 20, 2007, 2.6.23.9-85.fc8.x86_64. On March 14 we installed lm_sensors 2.10.5-1.fc8.x86_64. modprobe i2c-dev worked just great. "modprobe i2c-dev" created a device /dev/i2c-0 which our software uses. But after "yum update" on Apr 5, 2008, which updated my kernel to 2.6.24.4-64.fc8.x86_64, this no longer works. Now, "modprobe i2c-dev" returns without error but no /dev/i2c-0 is created. How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: # modprobe i2c-dev # [ -c /dev/i2c-0 ] || echo "FAIL - not present" Actual results: /dev/i2c-0 is not present Expected results: /dev/i2c-0 is present Additional info:
Possibly related to 380971 ? I tried applying the fix cited there but it did not work.
The i2c-tools package is only present in F-9, in F-8 it does not exist so I think you've choosen the wrong component, this is most likely a kernel bug. Can you try booting (or installing) an older kernel (2.6.23.x) and then save the output of dmesg and lsmod to a file, and do the same for the current kernel and attach all 4 files?
What kind of computer is this happening on?
