[lm-sensors] ali1563 problems

[Jo Lodewyckx]

Hello,

 

 

I'm using an asrock K8-upgrade 1698 motherboard in my server.

I wanted to use lm_sensors on it but run into some problems.

 

Sensors detect seems to detect my sensors correct but sensors gives me an
error:

 

regawebdev jo # sensors

Can't access procfs/sysfs file

Unable to find i2c bus information;

For 2.6 kernels, make sure you have mounted sysfs and libsensors

was compiled with sysfs support!

For older kernels, make sure you have done 'modprobe i2c-proc'!

Relevant sensors detect output:

 

We will now try to load each adapter module in turn.
Load `i2c-ali1563' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no):
Module loaded succesfully.
Load `rivatv' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no):
FATAL: Module rivatv not found.
Loading failed... skipping.
** Note: rivatv module is available at  <http://rivatv.sourceforge.net/>
http://rivatv.sourceforge.net/
If you have undetectable or unsupported adapters, you can have them
scanned by manually loading the modules before running this script.

To continue, we need module `i2c-dev' to be loaded.
If it is built-in into your kernel, you can safely skip this.
i2c-dev is already loaded.

We are now going to do the adapter probings. Some adapters may hang halfway
through; we can't really help that. Also, some chips will be double
detected;
we choose the one with the highest confidence value in that case.
If you found that the adapter hung after probing a certain address, you can
specify that address to remain unprobed. That often
includes address 0x69 (clock chip).

Next adapter: SMBus ALi 1563 Adapter @ 0400
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively):
Client found at address 0x50
Probing for `SPD EEPROM'... Success!
(confidence 8, driver `eeprom')
Probing for `DDC monitor'... Failed!
Probing for `Maxim MAX6900'... Failed!
Client found at address 0x51
Probing for `SPD EEPROM'... Success!
(confidence 8, driver `eeprom')
Client found at address 0x69

Some chips are also accessible through the ISA bus. ISA probes are
typically a bit more dangerous, as we have to write to I/O ports to do
this. This is usually safe though.

Do you want to scan the ISA bus? (YES/no):

Probing for `Winbond W83627HF'
Trying address 0x0290... Success!
(confidence 8, driver `w83781d')

Some Super I/O chips may also contain sensors. Super I/O probes are
typically a bit more dangerous, as we have to write to I/O ports to do
this. This is usually safe though.

Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no):
Probing for `Winbond W83627HF Super IO Sensors'
Success... found at address 0x0290

 

 

 

Your's sincerely,
