Hi gang,

kernel 2.6.12-rc5-mm2 all sensors devices modular, but only ISA bus:

root@sempro:~# /usr/local/bin/davej-kernel-bug-generator-o-matic |grep FATAL
FATAL: Error inserting w83627ehf (/lib/modules/2.6.12-rc5-mm2a/kernel/drivers/i2c/chips/w83627ehf.ko): No such device
FATAL: Error inserting smsc47m1 (/lib/modules/2.6.12-rc5-mm2a/kernel/drivers/i2c/chips/smsc47m1.ko): No such device
FATAL: Error inserting pc87360 (/lib/modules/2.6.12-rc5-mm2a/kernel/drivers/i2c/chips/pc87360.ko): No such device

root@sempro:~#

Does this indicate drivers that Yani's sysfs patch missed?
Is anyone working on it?

"FATAL: Error" is just modprobe telling you the module refused to load.

I looked at Dave's script; its purpose is to find modules that *oops* when
they are loaded (presumably, without the actual H/W present).  So, I don't
think the errors you listed are actually problems at all (unless you happen
to *have* any of that H/W).

It's a nice little script though.  Thanks for pointing that out.

Regards,
