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. It is generally safe and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions, unless you know what you're doing. 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): YES Probing for PCI bus adapters... Use driver `i2c-i801' for device 00:1f.3: Intel ICH6 Probe succesfully concluded. We will now try to load each adapter module in turn. Load `i2c-i801' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): yes Module loaded succesfully. If you have undetectable or unsupported adapters, you can have them scanned by manually loading the modules before running this script. 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): yes 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).

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)? If you want to load the modules at startup, generate a config file below and make sure lm_sensors gets started; e.g $ rc-update add lm_sensors default. To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add these lines to /etc/modules.conf: #----cut here---- # I2C module options alias char-major-89 i2c-dev #----end cut here---- WARNING! If you have some things built into your kernel, the list above will contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones! You really should try these commands right now to make sure everything is working properly. Monitoring programs won't work until it's done. To load everything that is needed, execute the commands above... #----cut here---- # I2C adapter drivers modprobe i2c-i801 # I2C chip drivers modprobe lm75 modprobe eeprom modprobe smbus-arp # sleep 2 # optional /usr/bin/sensors -s # recommended Do you want to overwrite /etc/conf.d/lm_sensors? Enter s to specify other file name? (yes/NO/s): yes Done. -- David Madsen david.w.madsen at intel.com
