[lm-sensors] Tyan Thunder K8W S2885

Hello,

The Tyan S2885 contains an ADT7463 monitor IC and a Winbond W83627hf
SuperIO chip. The BIOS displays 3 temperatures, 6 fan speeds, VCORE
AND DIMM voltages for each CPU and 4 more voltages on the board )(8
voltages total).

Since the ADT chip, depending on configuration, has just 4 tach inputs
  and it appears less than 8 voltage inputs I have assumed the
W83627h7 is also being employed (the user manual indicates fan 5 is
pin 113 and fan 6 is connected to pin 112).

When I run sensors-detect both devices, along with the eeprom, are
detected.

     Probing for `SPD EEPROM'... Success!
     (confidence 8, driver `eeprom')

   * Bus `SMBus AMD8111 adapter at 50e0' (Algorithm unavailable)
     Busdriver `i2c-amd756', I2C address 0x2e
     Chip `Analog Devices ADM1027, ADT7460 or ADT7463' (confidence: 8)

   * ISA bus address 0x0290 (Busdriver `i2c-isa')
     Chip `Winbond W83627HF Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9)

When I execute sensors, all of my dram chips are listed followed by
the output from adt7463-i2c-0-2e.

There is no output from the W83627hf device. I build a kernel with
embedded device drivers, with no change. I even forced the ISA bus
back on with no positive results (I realize ISA is mapped memory, but
when I did a depmod on the W83627hf driver, the isa bus was not
listed. It was a long shot).

How do I do to have sensors generate output from both chips. I can
deduce from the corresponding BIOS readings what the voltages etc.
correspond to.

Thanks
don

I had this problem too, turns out the problem was PNPACPI. Try adding 
"pnpacpi=off" to the kernel command line (or not compiling it and using 
PNPBIOS instead) and see if that fixes it.

Yes it should.

Btw you can find sensors.conf for TYAN motherboards on TYANs webpages:
http://www.tyan.com/support/html/software_utilities.html#lms
(and yes your MB is there)

Khali what about to put this link to our site :) ?

It was done once, but as a news item, which is now in "old news" so it's
unlikely that people will find it. I'd suggest adding a link in
lm_sensors2/doc/useful_addresses.html, in the "Motherboard
configuration files" section. Can you please do that?

Thanks,
