Epox 8RDA+: Unknown EEPROM type (101)

Epox 8RDA+: Unknown EEPROM type (101)

[javi]

Hi.
When runing the sensors binary I get the message:
# /usr/local/bin/sensors
eeprom-i2c-0-50
Adapter: SMBus nForce2 adapter at 5000
Algorithm: Non-I2C SMBus adapter
Unknown EEPROM type (101)

I've downloaded and installed i2c and lm-sensors foloowing this steps:

# cd i2c-2.8.1
# make
# make install
# depmod -a

# cd lm_sensors-2.8.1
# make
# make install
# depmod -a

In the  /etc/ld.so.conf there is a line like:  /usr/local/lib

# ldconfig
# ./prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh
# ./prog/detect/sensors-detect (answer default for all questions)
With the results...
#----cut here----
# I2C adapter drivers
modprobe i2c-isa
# I2C chip drivers
modprobe w83781d
# sleep 2 # optional
/usr/local/bin/sensors -s # recommended
#----cut here----


# cp /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors /etc/conf.d/ (because Gentoo uses  /etc/conf.d/  not
/etc/sysconfig/ )
I've added into the modules autoload script (Gentoo uses
/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4): i2c-nforce2
 i2c-isa
 eeprom
 w83781d

For testing without reboot:
# modprobe i2c-nforce2
# modprobe i2c-isa
# modprobe eeprom
# modprobe w83781d
# /usr/local/bin/sensors -s
# /usr/local/bin/sensors
eeprom-i2c-0-50
Adapter: SMBus nForce2 adapter at 5000
Algorithm: Non-I2C SMBus adapter
Unknown EEPROM type (101)

Whay is the problem. Whay Can I do?

My SO is Linux Gentoo 1.4 and my motherboard is a Epox 8rda+ with nforce2 chipset.
I'm using lm_sensors and i2c version 2.8.1
Thanks in advice.

Javier.

This simply means that you have memory chips of a new kind, that we
don't support yet. What kind of memory modules do you have on that
machine? According to the data sheet, it is regular DDR-SDRAM, so it's
strange it isn't supported (it is supposed to be, but is known to have a
different type value).

Anyway, the eeprom modules only provides information about your memory -
mainly the memory size. This isn't very interesting. That module is
interesting for us developers because it's a simple one, but it has no
real interest for the users.

However, if you want us to support your memory chips, please send us the
output of the folowwing command (after removing the eeprom module):

i2cdump 0 0x50 b

And we'll see what we can do. Also, please let us know the size of the
memory chip.

Thanks.
