| |
I finally got around to testing Linux 2.6.24 (2.6.24-rc4) and found that the it87 driver fails to probe and consequently, my sensors no longer work. This was fine with Linux 2.6.23.8 (the last kernel I was using)
The necessary modules load, but:
it87: Found IT8718F chip at 0x290, revision 2 it87: in3 is VCC (+5V) it87 it87.656: Failed to request region 0x290-0x297 it87: probe of it87.656 failed with error -16
Coretemp still works.
It appears it has something to do with the ioport range being reserved for some reason:
system 00:01: ioport range 0x290-0x29f has been reserved
At least I don't see that happening on previous kernels.
In any case, the changes to it87.c itself don't appear to have caused this. (CC'd hwmon maintainer anyways, my apologies if that was inappropriate)

Thanks for any help or suggestions,
