sensors-detect dont work (Examined/Solved - lm_sensors 2.8.6 suse 9.0 kernel 2.6.5)

[contact]

When I run sensors-detect, the moment I select not to load i2c-dev module, I

see this:

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 not loaded. Do you want to load it now? (YES/no): n

Well, you will know best. We will just hope you edited '/etc/modules.conf'

(or '/etc/conf.modules') for automatic loading of this module. If not,

you won't be able to open any /dev/i2c[-/]* file (unless youhave it built-in

into your kernel)

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).

Couldn't open /proc/bus/i2c?!? at /usr/sbin/sensors-detect line 3608, <STDIN>

line 4.

and when I load it, I see this

i2c-dev is not loaded. Do you want to load it now? (YES/no): y

FATAL: Module i2c_dev not found.

Loading failed, expect problems later on.

I have the ic2 options already activated

--- This is not sensors-detect from lm_sensors 2.8.6. The line number doesn't match,

and we do not use /proc/bus/i2c anymore.

You probably have more than one sensors-detect script in your PATH. For example,

you could have an older one brought by Suse in /usr/sbin, and the our new in

/usr/local/sbin. If the later directory is placed after the former in PATH, then

the old one is actually used as you run "sensors-detect".

Remove any older stuff, since it is more than likely to cause trouble. Then it

should work just fine (providing you actually have i2c-dev built into your kernel).
