Update Kernel to enable access haedware sensors in HP Microserver G7

[mmgarci30]

Hi mates.

 

I'm having a temperature issue with my HP Microserver G7 box. After diging a bit trying to acces the sensors I0ve found that there is a bug in the currently implemented SMBUS / I2C driver, that avoids the correct access to the chip (Nuvotem/Winbond W83795ADG).

 

The pacth that solves the issue was now merged into the kernel 4.5 branch, but a developer has provided a driver that can be build in other versions of the kernel.

 

Here you have a bit more information about the issue https://fetzerch.github.io/2015/11/15/hp-n54l-drivers/

 

Please can be this driver be build as a module in the kernel? Can any body provide that modules for unraid 6.2.4 or a guide how to build modules for unraid?

 

Thanks in advance, and regards.

 

Pd: edited as now I've migrated from unraid 6.1.9 to 6.2.4

Email support at LimeTech, and include this info, and they will probably add the patch.  However, it's not likely to be added to anything but a 6.2 release, the next one or a subsequent one.
