[lm-sensors] Intel® Desktop Board D945GSEJT

[lm-sensors] Intel® Desktop Board D945GSEJT

[Dennis Jordan]

Hi there,

I'm getting sick by trying to install lm-sensors for this mainboard with 
xubuntu 9.04.

Finally no sensors are found. When I try to use the most recent 
sensors-detect script it says:

Driver `w83627ehf':
  * ISA bus, address 0xa00
    Chip `Winbond W83627DHG-P Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9)

But if I try to load that module it says:

sudo modprobe w83627ehf
WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat, it 
will be ignored in a future release.
FATAL: Error inserting w83627ehf 
(/lib/modules/2.6.28-13-generic/kernel/drivers/hwmon/w83627ehf.ko): No 
such device

I don't know what to do to finally use lm-sensors. Due to the fact I'm 
using a fanless system here I don't want to sit in the dark regarding 
temperature for my CPU.

Thanks for any support here.

Kind regards
Dennis

This is kernel bug #13338:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id\x13338

Fixed in kernel 2.6.31:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h¡e48dce05ff06266cdfd0cba55fc5367cd499a5

Workaround for older kernels (as root):
* Add the following line /etc/modprobe.d/hwmon.conf:
  options w83627ehf force_id=0xa020
* modprobe w83627ehf
