- rossoneri711 - 2010-02-02 Thanks a lot guys for the help. ok so here is the output for lsmod below http://iquik.pastebin.com/m6a2780e3 and here is the output for dmesg | grep lirc Quote:[ 8.560719] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 61 - monty0815 - 2010-02-02 To clarify my previous post: Instead of issuing the modprobe command you can simply go ahead and add the correct line to /etc/modules or issue this command as root: Code: echo "w83627ehf force_id=0xa510" >> /etc/modules You can find the chip_id that I am forcing onto the driver in the linux sources at drivers/hwmon/w83627ehf.c: Code: Chip #vin #fan #pwm #temp chip IDs man ID As far as I'm concerned the entry in the lm-sensors FAQ does not bother me, as I am running the stock karmic kernel (2.6.31-17). the issue seems to affect 2.6.30 and below. Also I don't think that you have to patch the module, support for this specific chip has been added quite some time ago. Btw thanks for this link http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.sensors/21091 I'll try to figure out which temperatures are actually useful, but after a first test, all 3 temp readings seem to change during a small stress test. regards, monty - andyblac - 2010-02-02 monty0815 Wrote:To clarify my previous post: yup, works without building here is the new info for advancedsettings.xml Code: <cputempcommand>echo "$(sensors -u | tail -n64 | grep temp1_input | awk '{print $2 }' |awk '{printf("%d\n",$1 + 0.5);}') C"</cputempcommand> - X3lectric - 2010-02-02 rossoneri711 Wrote:Thanks a lot guys for the help. ok your drivers has not been properly installed, if you were following the read me that comes with the drivers though it shouldnt differ much try it with terminal. Again you must do sudo su and enter your password. Follow this post exactly.... except the dpkg line http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=462900&postcount=60 only difference is the driver version. so you do dpkg -i lirc-nct677x-1.0.4-ubuntu9.10.deb Intead. now grep lirc again and do lsmod on grep lirc you should read Code: [ 9.191974] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 61 and lsmod should show the driver on output... Which on your current is missing, whe you start XBMC the remote should work if not you have a bad install and lirc is not working ok. gave up on IR - dlbogdan - 2010-02-03 Finally I gave up on the IR part of the Asrock (simply too picky about range and angle, too slow with the harmony... gave me a headache) and bought a Sony PS3 Bluetooth Remote. Got it working perfectly (extremely responsive and a 4 story building range! ) with this : http://code.google.com/p/bdremote-ng/downloads/list The only problem is waking up from suspend with the bluetooth remote. Any ideas? - BoyBastos - 2010-02-03 hi X3lectric, first of all would like to thank you for this wonderful guide. i just have queston regarding sensor on your #2 post. would this instruction fit my ion foxconn nt-330i? or is this just for asrock ion 330? thanks in advance - X3lectric - 2010-02-03 andyblac Wrote:yup, works without building Im concerned because the issues which should have been resolved have really not with the kernel 2.6.31-xx nnot even with the very latest 2.6.32 unless your compiling it yourselves with the proposed solution. Further reading https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/440470 Whatever kernel you guys use while the result of Code: dmesg | grep SMB Code: [ 0.472150] ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LSMB] (IRQs 20 21 22 23) *11 However despite alarm bells ringing, I think this is indeed good progress and valuable posts and contributions to this topic and other users for that thank you monty0815 and andyblac - X3lectric - 2010-02-03 dlbogdan Wrote:Finally I gave up on the IR part of the Asrock (simply too picky about range and angle, too slow with the harmony... gave me a headache) and bought a Sony PS3 Bluetooth Remote. Got it working perfectly (extremely responsive and a 4 story building range! ) with this : http://code.google.com/p/bdremote-ng/downloads/list no idea personally about bluetooth remotes and no issues with angles or distance within reason. Did you have issues with cold start (start from total shutdown) with the asrock remote? If the answer is yes you may have a bummed automatic voltage regulator which can account for some other remote issues. Though Asrock 1st line support will try fob off and dismiss problems. Usual response is that they installed 9.10 tested it on their systems and found no issues. They ignore the fact most ppl are installing minimal ubuntu and do not take that into consideration though they should. Also I doubt they actually test anything since it's nuvoton who is doing the testing for them and the machines are or have had repairs done to fix poor hardware issues. Personally I had 2 other HT's and both were suffering from that now on my 3rd it finally seems a better part as resolved this issue. BoyBastos Wrote:hi X3lectric, Yes that is system independent as long as your system relies on coretemp and complains it cant be inserted so compiling is a solution. it would be worth you looking closer at your hardware and following what is going on in these latest posts regarding temps. Specially because coretemp is not accurate due to various issues. if you want to know how close your system is in relation to a ION HT (which I'm willing to bet my scrotum is manufactured by Pegatron even if yours is foxconn and this one is Asrock) pastebin the outputs of this you may need to install any commands not found. In meanwhile I will do same for comparison with yours and other systems. One thing that must be kept in mind is that these ION platforms are relatively new and some or other parts may not be yet fully supported by Linux. That doesn't mean it cant be fixed whatever is not working quite right. This is the main purpose of this Topic. - BoyBastos - 2010-02-03 Thanks for your quick reply X3lectric. yes my system relies on coretemp as i have it default on screenlet. here is the pastebin of my hardware : Hardware List One last thing mate, i am planning to get a usb ir receiver for remote in xbmc. any recommendation that is compatible with ubuntu 9.10? i just need a receiver as i have a harmony remote ready on my home theater. Thanks again. - X3lectric - 2010-02-03 Any MCE remote should work ok I have a spare one going for £20 + shipping just used once for testing. It's that one there only they come in black not silver. if your interested drop a pm. Im in UK BTW. On first look it seems your system is sporting pretty much same components. What happens when you do dmesg | grep SMB - BoyBastos - 2010-02-03 here is what i get (dmesg | grep SMB) [sudo] password for jeff: [ 0.508640] ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LSMB] (IRQs 20 21 22 23) *10 [ 16.780081] i2c-adapter i2c-0: nForce2 SMBus adapter at 0x4d00 [ 16.780120] nForce2_smbus 0000:00:03.2: Error probing SMB2. i havent followed your instructions yet coz am worried am new to linux came from windows/mac hehehe just making sure before i do this - andyblac - 2010-02-03 X3lectric Wrote: think i have found a solution heres my: Code: dmesg | grep SMB Code: [ 0.472164] ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LSMB] (IRQs 20 21 22 23) *11 Code: sudo sed -i 's/splash quiet/splash quiet acpi_enforce_resources=lax/g' /etc/default/grub - dlbogdan - 2010-02-03 I've found my remote workaround. I'm using a sony bd remote paired with a PC104 computer that listens with bdremote daemon for buttons and sends them through network to the lirc daemon that runs on the Asrock ION. For poweron/wake-up the PC104 sends a WOL magic packet to the Asrock. The solution is not perfect (i.e. have to run the PC104 computer all the time, though it only drains about 5 Watts) but works perfectly (complete with remote poweron/wakeup). The IR works perfect for poweron/wake-up but fails miserably for usual commands. (installed 1.0.4) it simply ignores most of the single button presses. You really have to find the perfect angle and i've just had enough. (i'm so pissed that i'll be selling the harmony 525 and i'll be thinking for a way to make my PC104 send IR commands for the rest of the AV setup and make the SONY BD Remote -- universal). cheers! - X3lectric - 2010-02-03 andyblac Wrote:think i have found a solution Yea I have posted end of this post that you can lax the kernel what that means is that it will default to old behaviour before the acpi/hwmon was changed so that the IO ports are not being probed by both. That resolves the error indeed but if both acpi and hwmon are using the same IO port for this you are just allowing what I am trying to avoid. That is IF I still haven't determined if in this instance this particular IO port is in use by ACPI, still looking into it. Better be safe then sorry. However your posts are still emparting with very usefull information until such determination is found. BoyBastos Wrote:Thanks for your quick reply X3lectric. Please look at the end of the 3rd post for the HT HW list. - X3lectric - 2010-02-03 andy this is what I have pulled off to see if ACPI is using the IO is question and to see if the IO for Code: modprobe w83627ehf force_id=0xa510 http://iquik.pastebin.com/fd1310c7 That is the output of Code: cat /proc/ioports Further information may need to be extracted off the system to fully determine if this is all safe. Also as bug report suggests a proper fix is already in the works. You do understand why I'm making a "fuss" over this? Don't ya? Further on this Normal output of cat /proc/ioports Code: 0080-008f : dma page reg Code: 0000-001f : dma1 At first glance it looks like the proposed fixes both by monty0815 and andyblac who has driven the proper resolution and implementation of do not have any issues with acpi/hwmon conflicting. I am fairly confident that what has been posted by andy and monty should now be relatively safe to implement though there is no apparent need to lax the kernel other then to silence the error. Further on this I will still be looking at proper control of fan speeds and overclocking via the W83677HG-I I see this as a small triumph for the Asrock ION users thx again guys for your incessant work I shall be updating the main posts to reflect the latest changes.
