Using 2.10.1 on a HP d530 running Suse 10.2 (upgraded PC from ticket 2154). Latest BIOS from HP for d530 has a setting in BIOS to enable unhiding the SMBus. Sensors detects and loads fine:
p2000:/usr/bin # sensors-detect
# sensors-detect revision 4171 (2006-09-24 03:37:01 -0700)
This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need
to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe
and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions,
unless you know what you're doing.
We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters.
Do you want to probe now? (YES/no):
Probing for PCI bus adapters...
Use driver `i2c-i801' for device 0000:00:1f.3: Intel 82801EB ICH5
We will now try to load each adapter module in turn.
Module `i2c-i801' already loaded.
If you have undetectable or unsupported adapters, you can have them
scanned by manually loading the modules before running this script.
We are now going to do the I2C/SMBus adapter probings. Some chips may
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.
Next adapter: NVIDIA i2c adapter 2 at 1:00.0
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively):
Adapter cannot be probed, skipping.
Next adapter: NVIDIA i2c adapter 1 at 1:00.0
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively):
Adapter cannot be probed, skipping.
Next adapter: NVIDIA i2c adapter 0 at 1:00.0
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively):
Adapter cannot be probed, skipping.
Next adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at fc00
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively):
Client found at address 0x08
Client found at address 0x2e
Handled by driver `lm85' (already loaded), chip type `adt7463'
Client found at address 0x44
Probing for `Maxim MAX6633/MAX6634/MAX6635'... No
Client found at address 0x50
Handled by driver `eeprom' (already loaded), chip type `eeprom'
Client found at address 0x51
Handled by driver `eeprom' (already loaded), chip type `eeprom'
Client found at address 0x52
Handled by driver `eeprom' (already loaded), chip type `eeprom'
Client found at address 0x69
Some chips are also accessible through the ISA I/O ports. We have to
write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe though.
Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any ISA slots!
Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (YES/no):
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' at 0x290... No
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78-J' at 0x290... No
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM79' at 0x290... No
Probing for `Winbond W83781D' at 0x290... No
Probing for `Winbond W83782D' at 0x290... No
Probing for `Winbond W83627HF' at 0x290... No
Probing for `Silicon Integrated Systems SIS5595'... No
Probing for `VIA VT82C686 Integrated Sensors'... No
Probing for `VIA VT8231 Integrated Sensors'... No
Probing for `AMD K8 thermal sensors'... No
Probing for `IPMI BMC KCS' at 0xca0... No
Probing for `IPMI BMC SMIC' at 0xca8... No
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'... Yes
Found unknown chip with ID 0x6e00
Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No
Trying family `SMSC'... Yes

Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Just press ENTER to continue:
Driver `lm85' (should be inserted):
Detects correctly:
* Bus `SMBus I801 adapter at fc00'
Busdriver `i2c-i801', I2C address 0x2e
Chip `adt7463' (confidence: 6)
Driver `eeprom' (should be inserted):
Detects correctly:
* Bus `SMBus I801 adapter at fc00'
Busdriver `i2c-i801', I2C address 0x50
Chip `eeprom' (confidence: 6)
* Bus `SMBus I801 adapter at fc00'
Busdriver `i2c-i801', I2C address 0x51
Chip `eeprom' (confidence: 6)
* Bus `SMBus I801 adapter at fc00'
Busdriver `i2c-i801', I2C address 0x52
Chip `eeprom' (confidence: 6)
EEPROMs are *NOT* sensors! They are data storage chips commonly
found on memory modules (SPD), in monitors (EDID), or in some
laptops, for example.
I will now generate the commands needed to load the required modules.
Just press ENTER to continue:
To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add these lines to
/etc/modprobe.conf:
#----cut here----
# I2C module options
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
#----cut here----
To load everything that is needed, add this to some /etc/rc* file:
#----cut here----
# I2C adapter drivers
modprobe i2c-i801
# Chip drivers
modprobe lm85
modprobe eeprom
# sleep 2 # optional
/usr/bin/sensors -s # recommended
#----cut here----
If you have some drivers built into your kernel, the list above will
contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones! You really
should try these commands right now to make sure everything is
working properly. Monitoring programs won't work until the needed
modules are loaded.
Do you want to overwrite /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors? (YES/no):
Sensors output is:
p2000:/usr/bin # /usr/bin/sensors

None of the fans read anything - and they won't accept any divisor settings - when I try and use "set fan1_div 4" or anything else I just get:
p2000:/usr/bin # /usr/bin/sensors -s
Error: Line 2440: Unknown feature name
adt7463-i2c-0-2e: No such feature known
CPU_PWM always reads 1, the other PWMs all read 255.
V12 (in4) is reading 3.3V, so seems to be reading a 3.3V not a 12V, and in0(V1.5) is only ever at 0.003V.
I have searched on the fan issue and found Ticket 1837 that said it was resolved in 2.8.8 - I am on 2.10.1 and have tried 2.10.2 and it does the same (went back to 2.10.1 as it is the version that Yast2 installs and manages).
Any ideas?
