Re: lm_sensors does not support my board with w83627ehf

Problem SOLVED!

So for anyone using a new motherboard with Etch facing the same error many people were:
FATAL: Error inserting w83627ehf (/lib/modules/2.6.18-6-686/kernel/drivers/hwmon/w83627ehf.ko): No such device

The steps i took to successfully get it to work:

1. Upgrade to kernel 2.6.22 from etch-backports (http://www.backports.org)
2. Download lm-sensors source code version 2.10.5 (http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Download)
3. apt-get install libsysfs-dev bison flex
4. untar lm-sensors tar.bz2
5. make user && make user_install
6. I did not apt-get remove lm-sensors, i installed over it. You choose.
7. sensors-detect
8. modprobe those ones
9. run sensors

Hope i could help somebody!

I guess you could try a newer kernel. Check the changesets between kernel versions and you will see more details on what has changed in that specific driver. Could be that you need a newer driver.

Good luck,
