Hi Jean,
Thanks very much for getting back. I had begun to figure that I might
not be using the right tool for the job, but what you suggest seems
pretty straight forward so I'll give it ago. Also, thought the round
robin tool might be more useful/adaptable - but then again, may be using
a sledge hammer to crack a nut?
Basically, I have a laptop with the mc1066 chip in that seems to be
doing _very_ strange things at start up. I've set up the mc1066 part of
sensors.conf so:
label temp "Board"
label remote_temp "CPU"
# set temp_low 40
# set temp_over 70
# set remote_temp_low 40
# set remote_temp_over 70
###Changed 7/2/05 by morgan
set temp_low 40
set temp_over 54
set remote_temp_low 55
set remote_temp_over 69
Boot starts; fan off; fan slow; fan off; boot ends. I log in, sensors
reports settings as above, cpu temp climbs to 69, fan cuts in, the
values reset to: cpu high 127 (!!!); cpu low 55; board high 55; board
low -55 (!!!). Then, cpu temp drops to (perhaps) 54, fan stops, the
values reset to: cpu high 70 (?); cpu low -55 (!!!); board high 55;
board low -55 (!!!).
The cpu temp climbs to 70, the fan cuts in and then things seem to
stabilise around cpu 57-62.
Or something like that! Mad?
So, I'm trying to work out what on earth's going on?
Thanks again,
Regards,
Morgan.
