[lm-sensors] w83627ef acpi conflicts

[Reimundo Heluani]

Hello list, I am trying to diagnose a loud fan on an ASUS p5q3 deluxe.
The chip recognized by sensors-detect is 

* ISA bus, address 0x290
    Chip `Winbond W83667HG Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9)

But on loading the driver I get

[1556449.413770] w83627ehf: Found W83667HG chip at 0x290
[1556449.413803] ACPI: I/O resource w83627ehf [0x295-0x296] conflicts
with ACPI region HWRE [0x290-0x299]
[1556449.413806] ACPI: If an ACPI driver is available for this device,
you should use it instead of the native driver

I am completely clueless and have no clue how to proceed.

I am running 

$ uname -a
Linux campari 2.6.32-gentoo-r3 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Feb 6 16:39:11 PST
2010 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Extreme CPU Q6850 @ 3.00GHz GenuineIntel
GNU/Linux

I couldn't find much info except an old thread in this list about this
mobo.

Cheers,

R.

It means that ACPI has reserved that IO ports for itself, so the hwmon
chip not allowed to touch them. Starting from 2.6.31 the kernel
actually enforces that reservation.

See the FAQ for the details:
http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/FAQ/Chapter3#Mysensorshavestoppedworkinginkernel2.6.31

For Asus board you can use asus_atk0110, which used the monitoring
interface supplied by ACPI.

Thanks I read in the old thread in this list about the atk0110, but that
one does not allow me to control fan speed...  I guess I can live with
the fan as it is now.
