Re: Ticket # 994 Ok, I finally got it to build/work RedHat 7.3. The problem was that the code in Makefile for both i2c and lm_sensors which sets the destination directory did not work. The modules were either not being installed (in some cases) or going to the wrong directory (in others). I had to manually set that to install. In both Makefiles I had: MODPREF := /lib/modules/2.4.18-3 on the A7V266E machines and it worked. However when I set that to MODPREF := /lib/modules/2.4.18-3smp on the Tyan S2468UGN lm_sensor's install stuck the files under ..../misc instead of in the right place, and I had to manually copy them up one level to the right directory. I also manually set the SMP variable which may or may not have been necessary. There were a couple of bugs in the /etc/r2.d/init.d startup script for lm_sensors. The repaired one is attached. (Basically wc was returning " 2" instead of "2" for the number of module lines and that was messing up the start/stop logic. I also made it format the responses to look nicer on startup with green/red success/failure messages. Lastly, sensors always shows the negative voltage ranges in the ALARM state even when the measured value falls within the specified min/max range. This was for chip "as99127f" on the Asus A7V266E motherboard. (I got the Tyan 2468 to the point where it would start lm_sensors but have not yet worked out the sensors.conf file for it.) For instance, when -5v measures -5.03 and min is -5.48 and max is -4.50 the ALARM is shown. Ditto for the -12V range. I think this is probably a bug in the "sensors" program having to do with negative voltage comparisons. Is there a known fix for it?
