Frankly, I don't think this is an LM87 at 0x2d. The one at 0x2e seems to be valid, but the data at 0x2d is just crap. > I also notice that several of the voltage values for lm87-i2c-0-2d > chip is different then lm87-i2c-0-2e.

Apart from temp1, there's nothing valid at 0x2d. I'm not an expert in dual-cpu systems (never owned one myself) but it doesn't make sense to have two sets of voltage measurements on such systems. I would bet there is a single chipset for theses (at 0x2e obviously). > After reading the documentation for both chips it is still not > clear to me what is the difference between the chips adm1021* and > lm87* CPU temperatures. Any ideas? The LM87 at 0x2e is your main monitoring chipset. Since it doesn't provide external channels for temperature measurement, the board maker added a temperature-only chipset for each CPU. These are the two ADM1021 chipsets. > 1. lsmod output. I have loaded the adm1021 module with > force_adm1021=0,0x18,0,0x29 Why did you use that force parameter? Was it suggested by sensors-detect? I'd be interested in a full sensors-detect log (after you unloaded all chip drivers, of course). Also, if you provide dumps for your four chips, I will take a look into that and maybe tell you more about what's on your motherboard exactly. i2cdump 0 0x18 i2cdump 0 0x29 i2cdump 0 0x2d i2cdump 0 0x2e Thanks. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
