From the Kernel Documentation: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/hwmon/via686a Module Parameters ----------------- force_addr=0xaddr Set the I/O base address. Useful for boards that don't set the address in the BIOS. Look for a BIOS upgrade before resorting to this. Does not do a PCI force; the via686a must still be present in lspci. Don't use this unless the driver complains that the base address is not set. Example: 'modprobe via686a force_addr=0x6000' So, if you need to set this (that is, if a BIOS upgrade is unavailable or does not fix things), create a file /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf, with the contents "options via686a force_addr=0xaddr" (where 0xaddr is an appropriate value). > > Thanks for any help, > > Rodolfo > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
