Something is wrong with th it8625e support. #20
Comments
@shamefulCake1 sorry, I've been busy for the last month or two and haven't been checking issues. Anyway, I think your issue is that you has is a fairly simple issue, you are probably running into ACPI blocking loading, and you can see this in the kernel messages just following the ones above. A quick test is to try If that works, see my comments I've just added to issue #21 for a fix on boot. A couple of other items from the link you listed, it looks like manjaro has two separate it87 packages, and most modern chips are probably only in the package based on my repo (it87-frankcrawford-dkms-git ?). However, you do seem to have loaded, so that isn't an issue. Secondly, unfortunately |
No, this does not help. Of course I tried it before. Same effect: the module loads correctly, but |
@shamefulCake1 can you run |
Yes, it is loaded, and dmesg still says:
|
But the check is that the module is still loaded, hence testing with lsmod. Secondly, can you try |
BTW, what are the lines just after it87 in dmesg? |
|
What motherboard do you have, what distribution are you running? |
Intel NUC J3455, cpu Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-4012Y CPU @ 1.50GHz Slackware 15.0 it87 from dkms, from this repo |
Hmm, unusual combination. How much do you know about the hardware itself? Do you know if Intel have actually implemented the hwmon functions of the IT8625E? SuperIO chips (of which is one) implement many hardware low-level functions in the one chip, but nothing says that they all have to be used on every board. Does the board have an onboard fan? |
No, I don't.
Well, not in stock. This was actually a problem, since this machine used to overheat to the point of hanging the it87 watchdog function. (I.e., it hang, and even the it87 watchdog, which I am sure is present, couldn't reboot it.) This is actually why I wanted to investigate this driver, because I thought that this would let me monitor the watchdog chip's temperature instead of the cpu temperature. The BIOS utility has the interface for the fan control, so the motherboard might actually support a fan, it's just that the device didn't have one in stock. |
Can you also run |
|
Give me some time to analyse that to see what it is reporting. |
Absolutely. If can somehow help, just tell me. |
The $SUBJ chip seems to be supported, and there are a lot of mentions of it in the two patches-differences between this fork and the mainline.
However, even though the module loads successfully and find the chip:
the sensors command does not query it:
no mention of the
it-8625-*
anything chip.Is there some kind of a trivial switch which should be turned on?
And I seem to be not the only one:
