testing on kernel 2.6

testing on kernel 2.6

[Andrew Schulman]

Hello.  I just saw your answer to ticket # 1442, http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/
~lm78/readticket.cgi?ticket\x1442.  I didn't file that ticket, but I'd like to 
help test lm-sensors on kernel 2.6.

I have an Abit IS7 mobo with Intel 865 chipset.  The i2c hardware bus is Intel 
801 (i2c-801 kernel module), and the monitoring chip is a Winbond W83627HF.  
sensors-detect successfully detects and loads i2c-801 and i2c-dev, before 
failing with "Couldn't open /proc/bus/i2c?!?".  

I'm running kernel 2.6.0-test9 and using the Debian package lm-sensors.  sysfs 
is mounted on /sys.

I'll check out CVS and see if I can get it running.  If there's anything else 
I should know for testing, please let me know.

Andrew Schulman.

you'll need to copy the changes in the w83781d section of lib/chips.c
to the w83627hf section.
But I have an idea I'm going to try tonight to make all that unnecessary,
so check CVS tomorrow too.
