Hi All! I'm trying to receive some usefull data (temperature, fan rotation speed, etc.) using lm_sensors on Intel SDS2 server board. But have no success. Hardware: 2xP3-1.26GHz on Intel SDS2 server motherboard. 'lspci' output: 00:00.0 Host bridge: ServerWorks CNB20HE Host Bridge (rev 23) 00:00.1 Host bridge: ServerWorks CNB20HE Host Bridge (rev 01) 00:00.2 Host bridge: ServerWorks: Unknown device 0006 (rev 01) 00:00.3 Host bridge: ServerWorks: Unknown device 0006 (rev 01) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL (rev 27) 00:03.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100] (rev 0d) 00:04.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100] (rev 0d) 00:0f.0 ISA bridge: ServerWorks CSB5 South Bridge (rev 92) 00:0f.1 IDE interface: ServerWorks CSB5 IDE Controller (rev 92) 00:0f.2 USB Controller: ServerWorks OSB4/CSB5 USB Controller (rev 05) 00:0f.3 Host bridge: ServerWorks: Unknown device 0230 02:04.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AIC-7899P U160/m (rev 01) 02:04.1 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AIC-7899P U160/m (rev 01) Software: RH7.3 with following i2c & lm_sensors related packages installed (all from <http://download.atrpms.net/production/packages/redhat-7.3-i386/atrpms/> as <http://secure.netroedge.com/~lm78/> advices in 'News' from 'March 12th, 2004'): lm_sensors-2.8.5-0_23.rh7.3.at.i386.rpm lm_sensors-kmdl-smp-2.4.20-30_37.rh7.3.at-2.8.5-0_23.rh7.3.at.i686.rpm kernel-smp-2.4.20-30_37.rh7.3.at.i686.rpm My conversation with sensors-detect follows (my comments included into curly braces): ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- /usr/sbin/sensors-detect Use driver `i2c-piix4' for device 00:0f.0: ServerWorks CSB5 South Bridge Load `i2c-piix4' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): Module loaded succesfully. Do you now want to be prompted for non-detectable adapters? (yes/NO): {I've tried both 'yes' and 'no' - nothing helped} With 'yes': Load `i2c-elektor' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): 2c-elektor failed Load `i2c-elv' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): Module loaded succesfully. Load `i2c-philips-par' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): Module loaded succesfully. Load `i2c-velleman' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): i2c-velleman failed {As I understand i2c-elv and i2c-philips-par don't help me} i2c-dev is not loaded. Do you want to load it now? (YES/no): Module loaded succesfully. 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: SMBus PIIX4 adapter at 0580 (Non-I2C SMBus adapter) Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): Client found at address 0x30 Client found at address 0x33 Client found at address 0x50 Probing for `SPD EEPROM'... Success! (confidence 8, driver `eeprom') Probing for `DDC monitor'... Failed! Client found at address 0x53 Probing for `SPD EEPROM'... Success! (confidence 8, driver `eeprom') Client found at address 0x60 Client found at address 0x62 Client found at address 0x69 {As I see it found at least 8 clients} 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...

Probing for `IPMI BMC KCS' Trying address 0x0ca0... Success! (confidence 4, driver `bmcsensors') 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): {All of them failed} Driver `eeprom' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * Bus `SMBus PIIX4 adapter at 0580' (Non-I2C SMBus adapter) Busdriver `i2c-piix4', I2C address 0x50 Chip `SPD EEPROM' (confidence: 8) * Bus `SMBus PIIX4 adapter at 0580' (Non-I2C SMBus adapter) Busdriver `i2c-piix4', I2C address 0x53 Chip `SPD EEPROM' (confidence: 8) Driver `bmcsensors' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * ISA bus address 0x0ca0 (Busdriver `i2c-isa') Chip `IPMI BMC KCS' (confidence: 4) I will now generate the commands needed to load the I2C modules. Sometimes, a chip is available both through the ISA bus and an I2C bus. ISA bus access is faster, but you need to load an additional driver module for it. If you have the choice, do you want to use the ISA bus or the I2C/SMBus (ISA/smbus)? {I've tried both ISA and smbus - nothing changed} #----cut here---- # I2C module options alias char-major-89 i2c-dev #----cut here---- To load everything that is needed, add this to some /etc/rc* file: #----cut here---- # I2C adapter drivers modprobe i2c-piix4 # modprobe unknown adapter ELV Parallel port adaptor using Bit-shift algorithm modprobe i2c-isa # I2C chip drivers modprobe eeprom modprobe bmcsensors # sleep 2 # optional /usr/bin/sensors -s # recommended #----cut here---- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- After all I have this output from 'sensors': eeprom-i2c-0-50 Adapter: SMBus PIIX4 adapter at 0580 Memory type: SDR SDRAM DIMM Memory size (MB): 512 eeprom-i2c-0-53 Adapter: SMBus PIIX4 adapter at 0580 Memory type: SDR SDRAM DIMM Memory size (MB): 512 No temperature, no fan rotation speed, nothing useful. I've tried to run '/usr/sbin/i2cdetect 1': for the first time it hanged, though it wrote one line of output (several digits in a row as I remember). Now it says: 'Error: Can't use SMBus Quick Write command on this bus (ISA bus?)' I've read "Intel Server Board SDS2 Technical Product Specification" <ftp://download.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/sds2/tps.pdf> and it says that this motherboard have several temperature and fan speed sensors, particularly it mentions ADM1026. I've tried to do 'modprobe adm1026', all of 'lm*', 'xeontemp'. They loaded without complains, but nothing changed in 'sensors' output. I really need to monitor the machine because it hanged two times last day (no pings, no logs, blank screen - the machine just 'freezed') and I suspect it's hardware-related problem, maybe overheating of CPUs or motherboard. Help me please with lm_sensors. How can I receive data from those 6 clients founded on 'SMBus PIIX4 adapter' and 'turn on' others (if they exist)? -- With best regards, Oleg Gritsinevich P.S. How can I subscribe to the mailing list?
