Hello!

I'm using an ASUS P4C800E-Deluxe which has a Winbond w83627thf
SuperIO-Chip. I have to use the beta Kernel because the Onboard LAN and
the SerialATA-Controller cause each other problems under 2.4.x (the LAN
won't work there).

I've tried to load the new user-space tools as suggested on the homepage
but it didn't work out. I'm not sure where the problem is. Maybe I
missed something I should compile into the kernel (do I need those
I2C-Algorithm-Modules (BitBanging-Device etc.) ?; and what about
ISA-Support? I don't have any ISA-Slots so I turned it off but
apparently the ISA-Bus is still present...)

Here are the results of my tries:

# modprobe i2c-i801

# ./lm_sensors2/prog/detect/i2cdetect 
Error: No i2c-bus specified!
Syntax: i2cdetect I2CBUS
  I2CBUS is an integer
  Installed I2C busses:
    i2c-0       unknown         SMBus I801 adapter at 0400

# modprobe w83781d

# sensors 
No sensors found!

# lsmod

i2c_core               21124  3 w83781d,i2c_sensor,i2c_i801

I also tried 2.7.1 before I figured out I need 2.6 to enable my LAN and
this is what sensorsdetect (under 2.4.x) told me to load:
MODULE_0=i2c-i801
MODULE_1=i2c-isa
MODULE_2=lm75
MODULE_3îprom
MODULE_4=smbus-arp
MODULE_5=it87

So now I tried to load these modules (as far as they existed) on 2.6:

# modprobe lm75
# modprobe eeprom
# modprobe it87  

# sensors 
eeprom-i2c-0-52
Adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at 0400

ERROR: Can't get temperature data!

lm75-i2c-0-48
Adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at 0400
Algorithm: Unavailable from sysfs
ERROR: Can't get temperature data!

Since this didn't work out and sensorsdetect not always gave me the same
results when I started it back in 2.4.x I don't really know what to do
know. sensorsdetect isn't yet functional on 2.6 kernels so I'm a bit
lost.

Any help appreciated. I can provide more information if necessary, just
tell me what you need.

Oh and I also tried it on test9 before I installed test10 with the same
results.

[Replying to my own mail]

I got it working!
All I had to do was to include ISA support in the kernel. (in the
meantime I switched to test11)

Now I load the following modules:
w83781d, i2c_sensor, i2c_dev, i2c_isa, i2c_i801, i2c_core
and get these results from sensors:

w83627thf-isa-0290
Adapter: ISA adapter
Algorithm: ISA algorithm
in0:       +3.14 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +0.00 V)              
in1:       +3.20 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +0.00 V)              
in2:       +3.36 V  (min =  +2.98 V, max =  +3.63 V)              
in3:       +3.04 V  (min =  +2.69 V, max =  +3.26 V)              
in4:       +3.07 V  (min =  +2.85 V, max =  +3.46 V)              
in7:       +3.04 V  (min =  +2.69 V, max =  +3.26 V)              
in8:       +3.30 V  (min =  +2.70 V, max =  +3.30 V)       ALARM  
fan1:        0 RPM  (min =  187 RPM, div = 32)                     
fan2:        0 RPM  (min = 3000 RPM, div = 2)                     
fan3:     2500 RPM  (min = 1500 RPM, div = 4)                     
temp1:       +31?C  (high =  +127?C, hyst =   +60?C)   sensor thermistor           
temp2:     +33.0?C  (high =   +60?C, hyst =   +50?C)   sensor PII/Celeron diode           
temp3:    +208.0?C  (high =   +50?C, hyst =   +50?C)   sensor thermistor           
vid:      +0.000 V
alarms:   
beep_enable:
          Sound alarm disabled

Now I'll have to find the proper settings in the conf file for my board.
Some strange things in the above listing are: fan3 is the power supply
and corresponds exactly with the real values but the processor fan is
not listed. Maybe because my BIOS always complains it "failed"? It
rotates very slow since I exchanged the Intel boxed for a more silent
one. But it definately rotates. :)
And I don't know what temperature belongs to CPU or mainboard and what's
the third?

Anyway: seems I'm on the right way.

You are also invited to update your local lm_sensors2 CVS repository.
We've been fixing a couple of problems these last few days.

That's the least to say. Looks like you don't have a config file at all.
Make sure you have /etc/sensors.conf. If not, copy it from
lm_sensors2/etc/sensors.conf.eg. It should be a lot better (both labels
and values).

Then you want to play with divisors. Slower fans need increased
divisors. If it's very slow, you need a very big divisor. In this case
it would be fan2 (since fan1 already as max divisor and still doesn't
show any value).

Usually, temp1 is the chipset internal temperature, which is considered
to be your motherboard temperature. temp2 would be your CPU here, you
can run some compilation job or even cpuburn to make sure (the CPU
temperature will raise quickly). temp3 is probably not wired to
anything, 208 is a common value in this case.

Let us know how it goes.

I did this right before I started. On the last try sensors gave me
segfaults no matter what modules were loaded, but now it's ok.

You're right, I don't have one. :)
I remember seeing a post on the web by someone with the same board as
me. I think I'll search my history and use this as a starting
configuration.

OK. Thanks for the hint. I'll try this.

OK. Thanks. I think this conforms with my BIOS, there are also onyl 2
temperatures as far as I remember. And yes, I tried it: temp2 is my
CPU...it's also indicated in the output but I didn't realize it at
first.

I could strip this down to: i2c-core, i2c-i801, i2c-isa, i2c-sensor and
w83781d.

I did this and didn't had to make any changes. Temperatures and
Fan-Speeds seem ok and that's all I need.

Sidenote: integration with gkrellm2 is also working.


Thanks for your help and for a great piece of software!
