** Description changed:
+ SRU justification:
+
+ Impact: There are a certain variation in the string provided by some mainbord
+ manufactures in the name they provide in the DMI information between
+ BIOS releases. The abituguru3 is a sensor driver that matched very
+ strictly to certain names and it was found this causes boards which
+ run well before, not to be detected after switching to DMI matching.
+ Fix: backported patch from upstream which loosens the checking to match
+ partial strings instread of the long versions.
+
+ Testcase: Driver would not load with certain boards. Verified to be working
+ after applying the patch.

Description: Ubuntu 8.10
Release: 8.10
$ sudo modprobe abituguru3
FATAL: Error inserting abituguru3
(/lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/kernel/drivers/hwmon/abituguru3.ko): No such
device
On Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy), the abituguru3 module loaded properly, making
the ABIT uguru sensors for my ABIT IP35 Pro motherboard available. On
Ubuntu 8.10 (intrepid), the abituguru3 module fails to load as shown.
Forcing the module appears to work.
Note: I searched the internet for information on this issue, and did not find
much. I did find a bug report on Mandriva that appeared similar:
https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=41113
Information was sketchy, but perhaps it is already in the pipeline to be
fixed in an upcoming patch.
