I *think* you simply have to say yes to have the modules loaded at startup on a Red Hat System. > However, loading the modules manually seemed to work: > [root at rhtest root]# modprobe i2c-isa > [root at rhtest root]# modprobe smsc47m1 > [root at rhtest root]# /usr/local/bin/sensors -s # recommended > -bash: /usr/local/bin/sensors: No such file or directory Red Hat's packages install the tools in /usr, while we default to /usr/local, thus the bad command. I'll tell Axel Thimm (the RPM builder) about it. > [root at rhtest root]# /usr/bin/sensors -s # recommended > [root at rhtest root]# sensors > smsc47m1-isa-0800 > Adapter: ISA adapter > Algorithm: ISA algorithm > fan1: 0 RPM (min = 5120 RPM, div = 1) ALARM > fan2: 0 RPM (min = 5120 RPM, div = 1) ALARM OK, the modules may load, still I'm not convinced by the results... Unless you have no fans, or they do not report their speeds.

Oh, OK, so that's normal you don't get the report. > Is this pretty much all I can expect out of this motherboard?

I hope this question isn't out of line. >From the datasheet, you should be able to load the i2c-i801 driver. Didn't sensors-detect told you about that? Maybe there are other sensor chips there. You may provide the full sensors-detect script for analysis. Remember to rmmod the smsc47m1 module before re-running the script. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
