[lm-sensors] Is the Intel i945G supported/planned?

[Sunil Kumar]

$ sensors-detect
# sensors-detect revision 1.413 (2006/01/19 20:28:00)

This program will help you determine which I2C/SMBus modules you need to
load to use lm_sensors most effectively. You need to have i2c and
lm_sensors installed before running this program.
Also, you need to be `root', or at least have access to the /dev/i2c-*
files, for most things.
If you have patched your kernel and have some drivers built in, you can
safely answer NO if asked to load some modules. In this case, things may
seem a bit confusing, but they will still work.

It is generally safe and recommended to accept the default answers to all
questions, unless you know what you're doing.

 We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters.
 You do not need any special privileges for this.
 Do you want to probe now? (YES/no): YES
Probing for PCI bus adapters...
Use driver `i2c-i801' for device 00:1f.3: Intel ICH7
Probe succesfully concluded.

We will now try to load each adapter module in turn.
Module `i2c-i801' already loaded.
If you have undetectable or unsupported adapters, you can have them
scanned by manually loading the modules before running this script.

 To continue, we need module `i2c-dev' to be loaded.
 If it is built-in into your kernel, you can safely skip this.
 i2c-dev is not loaded. Do you want to load it now? (YES/no): no
 Well, you will know best. We will just hope you edited `/etc/modules.conf'
 for automatic loading of this module. If not,
 you won't be able to open any /dev/i2c-* file (unless youhave it built-in
 into your kernel)

 We are now going to do the adapter probings. Some adapters may hang halfway
 through; we can't really help that. Also, some chips will be double
detected;
 we choose the one with the highest confidence value in that case.
 If you found that the adapter hung after probing a certain address, you can
 specify that address to remain unprobed. That often
 includes address 0x69 (clock chip).

Some chips are also accessible through the ISA bus. ISA probes are
typically a bit more dangerous, as we have to write to I/O ports to do
this. This is usually safe though.

 Sorry, no chips were detected.
 Either your sensors are not supported, or they are
 connected to an I2C bus adapter that we do not support.
 See doc/FAQ, doc/lm_sensors-FAQ.html, or
 http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/cvs/lm_sensors2/doc/lm_sensors-FAQ.html
 (FAQ #4.24.3) for further information.
 If you find out what chips are on your board, see
 http://secure.netroedge.com/~lm78/newdrivers.html for driver status.

I have i2c_dev in kernel, so I declined that.

Thanks for looking into this.

Hmm not very helpful. I think it is an Asus board ...
What motherboard it is? What manufacturer?

Which kernel is this? You need >= 2.6.11 for ICH7 support in i2c-i801.

> I have i2c_dev in kernel, so I declined that.

Please double check that. I'm quite suspicious given the original lsmod
you posted:

You can't have i2c-core as a module and i2c-dev built-in, it's
technically impossible.

[lm-sensors] Is the Intel i945G supported/planned?

[Sunil Kumar]

yeah, I messed up a bit. i2c-dev is indeed a module and I didn't modprobe it
before I ran sensors-detect.

But doesn't make much difference. I re-ran the sensors-detect and this time
I asked it to load the i2c-dev. Didn't find any chip this time either.

I am running 2.6.18-rc4.

It may not make much difference for your old sensors-detect and for
you, but it may make for us especially if you use the latest version of
sensors-detect:
http://www.lm-sensors.org/browser/lm-sensors/trunk/prog/detect/sensors-detect?format=txt

So please give it a try and report the full output. Maybe it won't find
anything, maybe you just don't have sensors on that system, but at
least we'll be sure.

Is there any hardware monitoring information reported by the BIOS?

sure, I will give the new one a try.

BIOS doesn't have any hardwar monitoring information. its a dell, what do ya
expect...;-)

Ok, here it is, from the newer script:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# sensors-detect revision $Revision$

This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need
to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe
and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions,
unless you know what you're doing.

We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters.
Do you want to probe now? (YES/no): YES
Probing for PCI bus adapters...
Use driver `i2c-i801' for device 00:1f.3: Intel ICH7
Probe successfully concluded.

We will now try to load each adapter module in turn.
Module `i2c-i801' already loaded.
If you have undetectable or unsupported adapters, you can have them
scanned by manually loading the modules before running this script.

We are now going to do the I2C/SMBus adapter probings. Some chips may
be double detected; we choose the one with the highest confidence
value in that case.
If you found that the adapter hung after probing a certain address,
you can specify that address to remain unprobed.

Next adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at e8a0
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): YES
Client found at address 0x08

Some Super I/O chips may also contain sensors. We have to write to
standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe.

Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Just press ENTER to continue:

Driver `eeprom' (should be inserted):
  Detects correctly:
  * Bus `SMBus I801 adapter at e8a0'
    Busdriver `i2c-i801', I2C address 0x50
    Chip `eeprom' (confidence: 6)
  * Bus `SMBus I801 adapter at e8a0'
    Busdriver `i2c-i801', I2C address 0x52
    Chip `eeprom' (confidence: 6)

  EEPROMs are *NOT* sensors! They are data storage chips commonly
  found on memory modules (SPD), in monitors (EDID), or in some
  laptops, for example.

I will now generate the commands needed to load the required modules.
Just press ENTER to continue:

To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add these lines to
/etc/modules.conf:

#----cut here----
# I2C module options
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
#----cut here----

To load everything that is needed, add this to some /etc/rc* file:

#----cut here----
# I2C adapter drivers
modprobe i2c-i801
# Chip drivers
modprobe eeprom
# sleep 2 # optional
/usr/local/bin/sensors -s # recommended
#----cut here----

If you have some drivers built into your kernel, the list above will
contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones! You really
should try these commands right now to make sure everything is
working properly. Monitoring programs won't work until the needed
modules are loaded.

Do you want to generate /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors? (yes/NO): NO

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's exactly what I had from the first ever run. I am not sure why
subsequent runs refused to find any chip (A bug in older sensors-detect) but
this is what it found the very first time and I had set it  up with these in
/etc/conf.d/lm_sensors (gentoo diversion, /etc/init.d/lm_sensors reads it, I
think) and /etc/modules.conf. Obviously, 'sensors' still comes out with 'No
sensors found!' even when all the modules are loaded properly.

You appear to have an unknown Super-I/O chip, presumably made by SMSC.
Could be a custom chip made by SMSC for Dell. Sometimes Super-I/O have
integrated hardware monitoring features. Without additional
information (like the name of the chip), there's not much we can do
though.

Either because the user pretended i2c-dev needn't be loaded (hum hum),
or because the eeprom driver was already loaded, and the user didn't
unload it in spite of the script asking for it.

I have since improved the script to gather information from already
loaded i2c chip drivers, hopefully this should make things better.

Quite rightly so, as EEPROMs aren't sensors, as the script kindly but
firmly reminded you above ;) Try "decode-dimms.pl" for decoded EEPROM
contents.

From another post:

This is usually a good indication that there is no hardware monitoring
chip in the machine. You may try ACPI (modprobe thermal; acpi -t) as
your last hope.
