I'm trying to get the temperature sensors working on my Debian Sarge box. The hardware is a VIA Epia M10000 board running a custom compiled 2.6.8-16 kernel.
As far as I know, the device driver for the VT1211 chip is not included in the 2.6.8 kernel, so I followed the instructions on http://hem.bredband.net/ekmlar/vt1211.html (including adding the two lines for Debian 2.6.8 kernels). Everything, compiling and installing, went correctly - no strange error messages or anything. I've used modconf to configure the modules to be loaded and included i2c-isa and vt1211. According to the above mentioned webpage, there should be a directory 0-6000 under /sys/devices/platform/i2c-0, but unfortunately: ls -l /sys/devices/platform/i2c-0 total 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jul 9 00:05 detach_state -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jul 9 00:05 name drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Jul 9 00:05 power report from lsmod: Module Size Used by vt1211 23108 0 i2c_sensor 2880 1 vt1211 via_agp 9056 1 agpgart 34600 1 via_agp eth1394 21576 0 via_rhine 22120 0 mii 5024 1 via_rhine ohci1394 35492 0 ieee1394 111256 2 eth1394,ohci1394 i2c_isa 1984 0 i2c_core 24176 3 vt1211,i2c_sensor,i2c_isa snd_pcm_oss 55080 0 snd_mixer_oss 20096 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_via82xx 28644 0 snd_ac97_codec 69988 1 snd_via82xx snd_pcm 98728 2 snd_pcm_oss,snd_via82xx snd_timer 25732 1 snd_pcm snd_page_alloc 11752 2 snd_via82xx,snd_pcm snd_mpu401_uart 7968 1 snd_via82xx snd_rawmidi 25124 1 snd_mpu401_uart snd_seq_device 8200 1 snd_rawmidi snd 56388 9 snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_via82xx, snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mpu401_uart, snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device ipchains 57152 0 longhaul 8080 0 ide_cd 42336 0 cdrom 40700 1 ide_cd So it looks like both modules vt1211 and i2c_isa are loaded (although i2c_isa doesn't appear to be used), but the directory 0-6000 (supposed hardware address of i2c) isn't created. I've also tried sensors-detect. Final report: Driver `eeprom' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * Bus `SMBus Via Pro adapter at 0500' Busdriver `i2c-viapro', I2C address 0x50 Chip `SPD EEPROM' (confidence: 8) Driver `vt1211' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * ISA bus address 0x6000 (Busdriver `i2c-isa') Chip `VT1211 Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9) Any suggestions what I'm doing wrong here? -- Matthijs [EMAIL PROTECTED] No need to 'cc' me, I read the list. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
