Hello,
I hope this is the right place to place my query!
I am trying to take control and initialise my fan censors and
"sensors-detect" is telling me that the chip on the board is "Fintek
f71869a at 0x290, revision 32". However, when I run sensors (the
service) this driver is not loaded (I can't see any of the fan sensors
either) and dmesg is showing me the following:
[ 2312.804747] f71882fg: Found f71869a chip at 0x290, revision 32
[ 2312.804902] ACPI Warning: 0x00000290-0x00000297 SystemIO conflicts
with Region \_TZ_.IP__ 1 (20120111/utaddress-251)
[ 2312.804919] ACPI Warning: 0x00000290-0x00000297 SystemIO conflicts
with Region \_SB_.PCI0.LPCB.SIO1.RNTR 2 (20120111/utaddress-251)
[ 2312.804934] ACPI: If an ACPI driver is available for this device, you
should use it instead of the native driver
Could anybody tell me what the above means please? Is there a conflict
between ACPI and the Fintek kernel module sensors (the service) is
trying to load? Is there a separate "ACPI driver" I should be using
instead? If so, how can I activate it so that I could get to read my fan
sensors?
When I run "sensors" (the program) I see very limited information, like
this:
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +48.0°C (crit = +127.0°C)
temp2: +26.8°C (crit = +127.0°C)
temp3: +26.8°C (crit = +100.0°C)
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0: +51.0°C (crit = +100.0°C)
Core 1: +51.0°C (crit = +100.0°C)
This is not OK because I don't have any RPMs of any of the fans I have
on this board (I have 3 fans running). I am using Fedora Core 17 with
kernel version 3.3.4.
Many thanks!
