Hi u all :)

On a gentoo ( kernel 2.6.19-r5 ), I'm trying to get lmsensors to
work.sensors-detect works fine, but when I try to load `w83627ehf' ,
I get :

"localhost lm_sensors-3.0.1 # modprobe w83627ehf
FATAL: Error inserting w83627ehf (/lib/modules/2.6.19-gentoo-r5/kernel/
drivers/hwmon/w83627ehf.ko): No such device"

in the ubuntu distro, lm-sensors works .

Here is part of sensors-detect output :
******************************************
"Some Super I/O chips may also contain sensors. We have to write to
standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe.
Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no):
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'... Yes
Found `Winbond W83627DHG Super IO Sensors' Success!
(address 0x290, driver `w83627ehf')
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'... No

Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Just press ENTER to continue:

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

I will now generate the commands needed to load the required modules.
Just press ENTER to continue:
......
.....
----cut here----
# I2C adapter drivers
# Chip drivers
modprobe w83627ehf
# sleep 2 # optional
/usr/bin/sensors -s # recommended
#----end cut here----
**************************************************
and, obviously :

"localhost lm_sensors-3.0.1 # sensors
No sensors found!
Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need.
Try sensors-detect to find out which these are."

Any idea would be very welcome :)
Thanks a lot,

jf

Could be that you are using an older kernel on the Gentoo than what is on the
ububtu and those the driver don't support your hardware.

Yes, maybe, ubuntu kernel is 2.6.22 , and the gentoo one is 2.6.19 . But,
since the driver exists, I thought it was ok ;)
I'll try to get another driver .

A more sensible approach would be to do an emerge --sync and upgrade your
Gentoo kernel. This would automatically bring in updates to any associated
drivers, as well as the one causing you a problem.

That's what I did at first, but I have another problem with emerge --sync
( I was about to open another thread for that ) :
************************

PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS instead

thanks again :) ,

Seems like you missed to update your /etc/make.conf after you last updated
portage, I suggest you start to fix the make.conf (look at the example file),
remove all custom options you set for syncing.

thanks, but it doesn't work . I've even tried the example file, I still
get the same message .
