[lm-sensors] Problem with MSI K9N6SGM-V motherboard sensors

[MillTek]

Hi,
Been trying to get the fan speeds etc. from this notherboard the last 
few days.  Kernel is 2.6.19.  Lm_sensors is up-to-date.
Sensors-detect gives the following; (just an extract where I think the 
problem is)

Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f
Trying family `ITE'...                                      No
Trying family `National Semiconductor'...                   No
Trying family `SMSC'...                                     No
Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Fintek'...                       No
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x4e/0x4f
Trying family `ITE'...                                      No
Trying family `National Semiconductor'...                   No
Trying family `SMSC'...                                     No
Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Fintek'...                       Yes
Found unknown chip with ID 0x0541

The only modprobes recommended are;

modprobe eeprom
modprobe k8temp

If I run sensors I get;

sensors
k8temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
Core0 Temp:
             +26?C
Core1 Temp:
             +26?C


The Bios shows fan speeds etc.  Is there anything I can do???

Hi Jim,

This is the information sensors gives you that identifies your chip:

> Probing for Super-I/O at 0x4e/0x4f

> Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Fintek'...                       Yes
> Found unknown chip with ID 0x0541

I am going to guess it's a new chip not seen before. The MSI K9N6SGM-V
uses the nVidia MCP-61 chipset. I downloaded the manual from:

http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_file_record.php?folder=3&kind=1&name=M7309v1.1.zip

(JAVASCRIPT WARNING)

In the manual on about page 4, there's a diagram showing the board
layout. If this is accurate enough, then the hardware monitoring chip
*must* be integrated in the nVidia MCP-61. The chip is probably only
recognizable by the chip ID 0x0541. I don't know what chip it is.

Hope that helps,
David

Hi Jim & David,

The fintek f71882fg or EPoX EP1308 has the same chip-id, but can't find
anything about it on the net. From the pictures I can find, it could be the
chip in the top right corner of the mobo. Lm-sensors 2.10.1 won't detect it
you would need the on in the svn.

You could also check by running
isadump -k 0x87,0x87 0x4e 0x4f
And post the results.

If it is the f71882fg then the driver is being developed and is almost
finished. I will post it here as soon as it is.

Regards,
Hans

Thanks guys,

I ran the isadump that Hans requested.  Here are the results;

 isadump -k 0x87,0x87 0x4e 0x4f
WARNING! Running this program can cause system crashes, data loss and worse!
I will probe address register 0x4e and data register 0x4f.

Let me know if this legible.  I'm having problems with fonts here and

Hi Jim,

Just I suspected this is the f71882fg

20: 05 41 20 19 34 00 80 5e 40 00 00 00 08 0e 00 00
    ^^ ^^    ^^ ^^
0541 is the chip id as you already said, and 1934 is the fintek ID. Support
for this chipset is being worked on and almost finished. Until it is
finished I'm afraid there isn't much you can do.

Results looked fine here.

regards

Although the driver only needs some finishing touches, it will take sometime
to actually be finished . This is because my father suddenly passed away
today.

Hans

I would like to offer my sincerest sympathies on your loss. Take your time, no
