Here's a note from Arima where they say that 2.7.0 works while newer versions don't. I haven't yet tried it. -----Original Message----- From: Paul.Chang at arima.com.tw [mailto:Paul.Chang at arima.com.tw] Sent: Tuesday, October 21, 2003 8:03 PM To: Marc Rieffel Cc: Bob Y. Hsin; xxera at xxera.com Subject: RE: Linux Hardware Monitoring for Arima HDAMA motherboard Dear Marc, We tried lm_sensors 2.7.0, 2.8.0 and 2.8.1, but only 2.7.0 could work. Our software engineer still look for the solution of the 2.8.x. Please used lm_sensors 2.7.0 now. Vaughn already mailed the information to Bob and John.

Hsin; John Liang Subject: Linux Hardware Monitoring for Arima HDAMA motherboard Paul, Paul Shay suggested that I contact you for technical support. I am evaluating an Arima HDAMA motherboard for use in Linux compute clusters. I would like to be able to monitor temperatures and fan speeds. Reading the motherboard documentation, I understand that there is an adm1026 chip on the board. I have tried to use the lm_sensors (http://secure.netroedge.com/~lm78/index.html) package but have so far been unsuccessful. It is able to detect the AMD 8111 and 756 chips, but it can not find the adm1026 chip. Can you give me any suggestions for hardware monitoring under Linux? Have you been able to make the lm_sensors package work for you? Or is there another package that I should use instead? The detailed output of sensors-detect is attached below. Please let me know if you need any more information to help me diagnose this problem. Thanks for your help. Marc Rieffel Sr. Manager, Software Technology Paracel marc at paracel.com 626-744-2080 ******************************************* gb0008:/tmp/marc/lm_sensors-2.8.1 # prog/detect/sensors-detect This program will help you determine which I2C/SMBus modules you need to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. You need to have i2c and lm_sensors installed before running this program. Also, you need to be `root', or at least have access to the /dev/i2c-* files, for most things. If you have patched your kernel and have some drivers built-in, you can safely answer NO if asked to load some modules. In this case, things may seem a bit confusing, but they will still work. BIOS vendor (ACPI): PTLTD System vendor (DMI): AMD BIOS version (DMI): PMLC00-7 We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters. You do not need any special privileges for this. Do you want to probe now? (YES/no): Probing for PCI bus adapters... Use driver `i2c-amd8111' for device 00:07.2: AMD-8111 SMBus 2.0 Use driver `i2c-amd756' for device 00:07.3: AMD-8111 ACPI Probe succesfully concluded. We will now try to load each adapter module in turn. Load `i2c-amd8111' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): Module loaded succesfully. Load `i2c-amd756' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): /lib/modules/2.4.19MARipmi-NUMA/kernel/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-amd756.o: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters. You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg /lib/modules/2.4.19MARipmi-NUMA/kernel/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-amd756.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.19MARipmi-NUMA/kernel/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-amd756.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.19MARipmi-NUMA/kernel/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-amd756.o: insmod i2c-amd756 failed Loading failed... skipping. Do you now want to be prompted for non-detectable adapters? (yes/NO): To continue, we need module `i2c-dev' to be loaded. If it is built-in into your kernel, you can safely skip this. i2c-dev is not loaded. Do you want to load it now? (YES/no): Module loaded succesfully. We are now going to do the adapter probings. Some adapters may hang halfway through; we can't really help that. Also, some chips will be double detected; we choose the one with the highest confidence value in that case. If you found that the adapter hung after probing a certain address, you can specify that address to remain unprobed. That often includes address 0x69 (clock chip). Next adapter: SMBus2 AMD8111 adapter at 1000 (Non-I2C SMBus 2.0 adapter) Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): Client found at address 0x08 Some chips are also accessible through the ISA bus. ISA probes are typically a bit more dangerous, as we have to write to I/O ports to do this. Do you want to scan the ISA bus? (YES/no): Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' Trying address 0x0290... Failed! Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78-J' Trying address 0x0290... Failed!

(0xe1) Sorry, no chips were detected. Either your sensors are not supported, or they are connected to an I2C bus adapter that we do not support.
