Some very strange problems with lm-sensors

Some very strange problems with lm-sensors

[Thijs Bakx]

As i said in the subject in short the problem is that i can?t find any
sensors
on my asus a7v8-x with lm-sensors. I have patched my kernel , 2.4.20, with
the
correct patches and compiled the kernel with all lmsensors and i2c support.
But still no sensors were found, then i tried to compile everything as
modules
and now sensors-detect gives us some sensors. Although when I modprobe them
and then try ?sensors ? again it still says no sensors found. I even tried
to
get those sensors to work with the forced undectable sensors method but
then ./i2cdetect 0 says it can?t open /dev/i2c-0. And I found out
that /dev/i2c-0 indeed not exists.

I think I have tried just everything i could so thats why I decided to ask
it
here. I hope i gave enough info otherwise you can just mail me.

Is there any irc channel or something were a lot of lm-sensors users hang
out ?


The output of i2cdetect:

fulgor:/home/admin/twit/downloads/lm_sensors-2.7.0/prog/detect# ./i2cdetect
0

Just to be sure, The output i gave u  is what i get AFTER that i made
/dev/i2c files by myself.

We actually met on IRC and solved the problem. Two problems where
actually found: old libsensors.so causing sensors to crash, and modules
loaded in the wrong order causing sensors to see no sensors at all.
