[lm-sensors] Difficulty with ASUS P5B W83627DHG - Error inserting w83627ehf

[Brett King]

Hi,
I've read all documentation, FAQ, wiki & archived mailing list posts
since Dec 2006 plus google'd extensively but still I cannot find any
way to get lm-sensors to work on this board, so I'm coming to the
mailing list or help.

I'm running openSUSE 10.2, kernel 2.6.18.2-34-default, x86_64.

I have sysfs as recommended for 2.10.2:

# rpm -qav *sysfs*
sysfsutils-2.1.0-19
#

# sensors --v
sensors version 2.10.2 with libsensors version 2.10.2
#

After a make user, su, make user_install then sensors-detect I get the
following:

...
Driver `w83627ehf' (should be inserted):
Detects correctly:
* ISA bus address 0x0290 (Busdriver `i2c-isa')
Chip `Winbond W83627DHG Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9)
...

But when I attempt to modprobe w83627ehf:

# modprobe w83627ehf
FATAL: Error inserting w83627ehf
(/lib/modules/2.6.18.2-34-default/kernel/drivers/hwmon/w83627ehf.ko):
No such device
#

Does this driver really support the DHG chip ? I would have thought a
file named 'w83627dhg.ko' would have perhaps come with lm_sensors
2.10.2 to copy into the kernel source tree ?

Any ideas ? Again apologies if I'm asking a simple question however I
just can't seem to get it working or find an answer to this problem ..
thanks.

Did you patch your kernel? (2.6.18 does not support W83627DHG by default.)

Try the patch here:

Thanks for the tip, makes sense.
The diff output is a bit intimidating however, could someone do me a
huge favour & email / attach the patched driver (w83627ehf.c.txt)
mentioned in the archive URL ? I can't seem to find it .. cheers.
