installation fail kernel 6.8.0-41

Thanks for keeping the project active , first if all , great job.

Something strange happened...

kernel 6.8.0-41 ubuntu 24.04

partially solved this way:

sudo make -f Makefile DRIVER=it87 DRIVER_VERSION=3.0-20240908 DKMS_ROOT_PATH=/usr/src/it87-3.0-20240908 dkms

sudo nano /var/lib/dkms/it87
options it87 ignore_resource_conflict=1
save

sudo nano /etc/modules
it87
save

P.s.
sudo apt install gcc-14 for last kernels

hope this will help someone

@dga4130-renato there are two ways to fix this, one in the code, and one by you, although both will need some details from you.

However first off, in my case /var/lib/dkms/it87 is a directory, not a file you can edit. What Linux distribution are you using?

Anyway, the more standard fix is similar and is

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/it87.conf
options it87 ignore_resource_conflict=1
save

(i.e. same info, just different location).

The way I can get it fixed in the code is if you supply some information about the board you are using and then I can automatically set that option. To do this run the following and supply me with the results:

sudo cat /sys/class/dmi/id/board_vendor
sudo cat /sys/class/dmi/id/board_name

"However first off, in my case /var/lib/dkms/it87 is a directory, not a file you can edit. What Linux distribution are you using?"

yes, you are correct... i made a mistake here " /var/lib/dkms/it87

Details:

UBUNTU 24.04.1 LTS
Kernel 6.11.0

Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
H610M S2H V2

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/it87.conf
options it87 force_id=0x8689 ignore_resource_conflict=1
save

sudo sensors-detect
Trying family `ITE'... Yes
Found unknown chip with ID 0x8689

also i saw this in the code.. it87.c

IT87_DMI_MATCH_GBT("H610M H DDR4", it87_dmi_cb,
		   &it87_acpi_ignore),
	/* IT8689E */
IT87_DMI_MATCH_GBT("H610M S2H V2", it87_dmi_cb,
		   &it87_acpi_ignore),

so i added the lower line...IT87_DMI_MATCH_GBT("H610M S2H V2", it87_dmi_cb,

maybe this is not the correct way to do it, or maybe i was wrong ... but seems to work ok ...

@dga4130-renato your change is pretty much what I'm going to add, so yes it is right. I may add a comment, etc.

Nice ! Thanks for spending your time here 👍
