Each time i try to load this module i get the error. It's quite confusing since this module loads correct on the same machine on Ubuntu. The kernel version is 2.6.23-r4 and it's manually compiled from gentoo-sources Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.modprobe it87 Actual Results: FATAL: Error inserting it87 (/lib/modules/2.6.23-gentoo-r4/kernel/drivers/hwmon/it87.ko): Device or resource busy Expected Results: module should be loaded

Can you tell me the last kernel this worked on in Gentoo and post your dmesg for the broken kernel.
There is a discussion about this on lkml: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/12/9/147 and even a potential patch: http://lkml.org/lkml/diff/2007/12/9/186/1 They discuss it as after 2.6.23.9 and gentoo-sources-2.6.23-r3 worked OK for me. With r4: it87: Found IT8718F chip at 0x290, revision 4 it87: in3 is VCC (+5V) it87 it87.656: Failed to request region 0x290-0x297 it87: probe of it87.656 failed with error -16
Yes, I saw that also, and hence my request to see your dmesg to determine if it was related. That patch is currently not yet in the mainline kernel tree.
also make sure dmesg is not captured until after you have attempted to load the module (more details about the it87 loading problem will be logged there)
That's all I get in dmesg. Should have said it does actually load for me - it just doesn't work (i.e. sensors shows nothing from it). But, if I do: modprobe -r it87 modprobe it87 It loads OK and appears to work.
Chris, please file a new bug as it sounds like your problem is different
dmesg: it87: Found IT8716F chip at 0x290, revision 0 it87: in3 is VCC (+5V) it87: in7 is VCCH (+5V Stand-By) it87.656: failed to claim resource 0 it87: Device addition failed (-16) I have not tried it before with any gentoo kernel, but it works on Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic . I will try to compile gentoo kernel 2.6.23-r3 i check if the problem still occurs.
When running gentoo-genkernel-2.6.23-r3 the module it87 loads ok. I will check r4 genkernel tommorow. That's enough for me today.
genkernel r4 doesn't load the module too so it seems not to be config problem.
Mine is fixed in gentoo-sources-2.6.23-r5.
Dominik, Can you test with gentoo-sources-2.6.23-r5 and post the results.
I will test with r5 but not sooner then on 03.01.2008 because I will not have access to that machine till then. I'm now spending the holiday at my hometown.
I upgraded the kernel to r5 today and it fixed the problem. Now the module loads fine and I can see my sensors again :) Thanks for Your help.
