[lm-sensors] Implementation of FSCSCY?

[lm-sensors] Implementation of FSCSCY?

[Torsten]

Hello,

I'm really new to linux, so please be patient... ;)

I've got a FSC Dual-Mainboard (D1306) on which I'm trying to setup a
server-system based on the actual Ubuntu ("Breezy Badger"). So the
kernel must be a 2.6.

The board contains a "Scylla"-chip, which is found by sensors-detect. As
far as I found within the docs, this must be ok, because the developer
of the required module "fscscy" notes, the driver is "beta" but
well-tested on exactly THIS board.

Anyway, sensors-detect wants to load "fscscy" in modules.conf, but this
module doesn't exist!
The only module next to piix4 ist "eeprom" which doesn't seem to be very
useful...

I searched the whole drive, but only found the note mentioned above.
Google didn't come out with more and I couldn't find an open bug/ticket...

Where can I get it and why is it missing?

PS: Another strange thing, when installing piix4, the bootlog shows
something about "unusual config register value" and I should set
"fix_hstcfg=1". When I do so, sensors-detect searches longer and finds
more... Anyway, the only new modules to load are smbus-arp (for which
the doc reads "if you don't know what this is you don't need it"???) and
another unsupported chip called Philips "PCA9556". :-(

Noone with a hint what's going wrong? :(

Hello,

Your mail hit the list just few days before my final exams so I had no time to reply.

Is this a serverworks chipset?

Nobody ever port it it seems. You can do it yourself with our help, pay/donate
something to handle it for you.

This is some multiplexer device if I recall correctly. Mayebe it is just
missdetection because of the fix_hst cfg. Please write back what chipset it is
(or lspci)

Thanks

Thank you for your time, I hope your exams were successful?

Yes. The "data sheet" reads "Serverworks HE-SL"

Since I'd like to learn how to help myself, I'll try to do all
necessary. If this fails, I'm willing to donate, too. Well, maybe I
should do so anyway...

Hello again.

It seems I missed this mail.

Yes now I'm master of science aka "ing"

Well if you know how to write the C it should not be big problem. Please study this docs in Documentation directory of kernel:

 hwmon/sysfs-interface
i2c/porting-clients

If you have ANY questions please feel free to ask.

ouch. My last C was in the mid-80's on Amiga...

Well then, let's get into the books. This will take some time, of
course... ;)
