For some reason lm sensors cannot communicate via the SMBus or
pci adapter:

Probing for PCI bus adapters...
Sorry, no PCI bus adapters found.

 We will now try to load each adapter module in turn.
 Do you now want to be prompted for non-detectable adapters? (yes/NO):
 To continue, we need module `i2c-dev' to be loaded.
 If it is built-in into your kernel, you can safely skip this.
i2c-dev is already loaded.

 We are now going to do the adapter probings. Some adapters may hang halfway
 through; we can't really help that. Also, some chips will 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. That often
 includes address 0x69 (clock chip).

 Some chips are also accessible through the ISA bus. ISA probes are
 typically a bit more dangerous, as we have to write to I/O ports to do
 this.  Do you want to scan the ISA bus? (YES/no):

 Either your sensors are not supported, or they are
 connected to an I2C bus adapter that we do not support.

Has anyone got lm-sensors working on a P4P800_E deluxe?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I recently got it working on a P4S8X.
Do you have ISA support in your kernel?? Strangely it is needed for
sensors even if your M/B has no ISA slots.

There are still plenty of ISA-bus peripherals on a motherboard, even
if the board doesn't have any ISA-bus connectors. Here is what pops
up on this old A7V:

lpt0 at isa0 port 0x378-0x37b irq 7
com0 at isa0 port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4: ns16550a, working fifo
com1 at isa0 port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3: ns16550a, working fifo
pckbc0 at isa0 port 0x60-0x64
pcppi0 at isa0 port 0x61
npx0 at isa0 port 0xf0-0xff: using exception 16
fdc0 at isa0 port 0x3f0-0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2

Yes I have enabled ISA support into my custom built kernel. I am just
wondering if this is either a kernel misconfig or the following problem
referred to under section 4.17.5 :-

http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/cvs/lm_sensors2/doc/lm_sensors-FAQ.html#Section-4_002e17

Meanwhile I'll try a 2.6 kernel or install Fdora FC2 or Mandrake 10 with 2.6
builtin.

I've got it kind of working with Gentoo Linux (2.6.7-r11 kernel).

The default configuration didn't build the necessary sensor module,
w83627hf. Check to see if you have that module in /lib/modules/<kernel>.

While I can see the sensors, the values or labels aren't quite correct:

w83627thf-isa-0290
Adapter: ISA adapter
VCore: +3.00 V (min = +1.81 V, max = +2.00 V)
+12V: +11.27 V (min = +10.84 V, max = +13.21 V)
+3.3V: +3.30 V (min = +3.14 V, max = +3.48 V)
+5V: +4.94 V (min = +4.75 V, max = +5.26 V)
-12V: -14.88 V (min = -10.77 V, max = -13.16 V)
V5SB: +5.03 V (min = +4.77 V, max = +5.25 V)
VBat: +1.28 V (min = +2.41 V, max = +3.60 V)
CPU Fan: 3000 RPM (min = -1 RPM, div = 2)
M/B Temp: +22 C (high = +40 C, hyst = +37 C) sensor = thermistor
CPU Temp: +34.5 C (high = +75 C, hyst = +72 C) sensor = thermistor
vid: +1.900 V
alarms:
beep_enable:
Sound alarm enabled

VCore is double what it should be (1.5V), and the battery reading is
too low - I don't think it's a simple mislabelling issue, as the BIOS
reads the VCore as 1.5V (+/- a smidge.)

Does anyone have a working sensors.conf file for the w83627thf as
used (but not documented...) by Asus?

Thanks.
