lm_sensors, I'm trying to get lm_sensors working on a dual Itanium2 1.3 GHz whitebox system. It built and installed just fine, but found no sensors. The output is below. I saw several messages on the mailing list relating to Itanium, but they were very old and included links to non-existent web pages. I didn't see anything relevant in the FAQ. I'm confident that this motherboard has some sort of sensors on it, but I'm not yet sure what. I don't yet have the Intel documentation. My next step is to open the box and look what chips are there. Can you give me any guidance? Have others been trying lm_sensors on Itanium? Thanks. [root at gb0010 lm_sensors-2.8.4]# 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. 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... Sorry, no PCI bus adapters found. We will now try to load each adapter module in turn. 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): modprobe: Can't locate module i2c-dev Loading failed, expect problems later on. 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). 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! Probing for `National Semiconductor LM79' Trying address 0x0290... Failed! Probing for `Winbond W83781D' Trying address 0x0290... Failed! Probing for `Winbond W83782D' Trying address 0x0290... Failed! Probing for `Winbond W83627HF' Trying address 0x0290... Failed! Probing for `Winbond W83697HF' Trying address 0x0290... Failed! Probing for `Silicon Integrated Systems SIS5595' Trying general detect... Failed! Probing for `VIA Technologies VT82C686 Integrated Sensors' Trying general detect... Failed!

Probing for `IPMI BMC KCS' Trying address 0x0ca0... Failed! Probing for `IPMI BMC SMIC' Trying address 0x0ca8... Failed! Some Super I/O chips may also contain sensors. Super I/O probes are typically a bit more dangerous, as we have to write to I/O ports to do this. Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no): Probing for `ITE 8712F Super IO Sensors' Failed!

Either your sensors are not supported, or they are connected to an I2C bus adapter that we do not support. See doc/FAQ, doc/lm_sensors-FAQ.html, or http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/cvs/lm_sensors2/doc/lm_sensors-FAQ.html (FAQ #4.24.3) for further information. If you find out what chips are on your board, see http://secure.netroedge.com/~lm78/newdrivers.html for driver status.
