I'm not having much luck with this :-(
I also have a Tyan Tiger MP, and have built a 2.4.10-ac12 based kernel for it. Actually, I modified the Rawhide kernel SRPM to use linux-2.4.10 and the ac12 patch, as I run ext3 and software raid installed by RedHat's Roswell beta, and I need to stay compatible with that; then made and installed the athlon-smp RPM.
It contains 2.6.1 for i2c, and I generated the patch for lm_sensors 2.6.1 to replace the older patch for lm_sensors in the SRPM.
The i2c-amd756 module hangs my kernel too, but you seem to have it work without it? I don't get anything detected without i2c-amd756. This is what the log messages say (but I have to reboot to read them):
Oct 14 16:17:16 linnie kernel: i2c-amd756.o version 2.6.1 (20010830) Oct 14 16:17:16 linnie kernel: i2c-dev.o: Registered 'SMBus AMD7X6 adapter at 80e0' as minor 1 Oct 14 16:17:16 linnie kernel: i2c-core.o: client [W83782D chip] registered to adapter [SMBus AMD7X6 adapter at 80e0](pos. 0). Oct 14 16:17:16 linnie kernel: i2c-core.o: client [W83782D subclient] registered to adapter [SMBus AMD7X6 adapter at 80e0](pos. 1). Oct 14 16:17:16 linnie kernel: i2c-core.o: client [W83782D subclient] registered to adapter [SMBus AMD7X6 adapter at 80e0](pos. 2).
Or is it this module (i2c-amd756) that you say must be included in the kernel to make 'it' work (English is so ambiguous :-))?
One more question if you don't mind: do you (still) have to first read the sensors in the BIOS before booting? If I do that, for some reason, I don't get my grub boot screen after exiting setup, instead the board tries to boot off the lan; I ctrl-atl-del out of that, and then things are back to normal, but that soft reset probably undid whatever reading the sensors in the bios changed :-( Any other settings in the bios that matter?
Thanks, Willem Riede.
