Board not supported, not capable of modprobe

[Aman1994]

I was trying to compile the driver but while doing so i am getting

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'asus_wmi_sensors': No such device

This is the motherboard:

Manufacturer: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.
Product Name: PRIME X670-P WIFI

It would be great, if you could add support for this MB.

Thank you!

Your board is not supported.
You need to try the alternate driver asus-ec-sensors which is provided by the latest kernels.
Or you need to ask for assistance on its Github repo.
https://github.com/zeule/asus-ec-sensors

Nct6775 has support of your board, look to https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/hwmon/nct6775-platform.c#n1319.

If it's not true could you please attach dmesg messages when you load nct6775 to https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=204807.

Hi @KeithMyers , i tried using https://github.com/zeule/asus-ec-sensors - but that too doesn't work

Support of SuperIO used in your board was added to kernel last summer, I suppose such change is not backported to 4.18 LTS kernels, and 6.5+ kernel version is required for your board

[KeithMyers]

You are running a much too old kernel to have the newest nct6775 module that has code to recognize your motherboard SIO chipset. Likely your chipset is the nct6798 or 6799 chipsets which is only in the latest kernels.

You can try to force load the module with:

sudo modprobe nct6775 force_id=0xd420

Then run sensors again and see if the chipset is found at nct6799-isa-290. If it is then add this to your /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf file:
options nct6775 force_id=0xd420

If that doesn't work, then add this to your kernel command line:
nct6775.force_id=0xd420

and run sensors again.
