Hi First of all thanks for all your work on this fantastic piece of software and for the nice documentation that comes along. I was able to compile and install lm_sensors and i2c, and I did detect some sensors, but I get nonsense output (see below): zero values, or -1? C. I have an Intel D865-GBFL motherboard and am running RedHat9, kernel 2.4.27. I compiled i2c 2.9.0 (with 2.9.0.1 patch) and lm_sensors 2.9.0. I had to hack bmcsensors.c according to this link: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?postid=1510834#post1510834 to avoir compile-time errors. I guess this is all I can tell you. I hope I will be able to monitor my temperature and so be able to lower the noise level of my box. Please ask if you need more info. Best, Thomas Some info about my system: [tguignar at lemapc77 tguignar]$ uname -a Linux lemapc77 2.4.27 #1 SMP Fri Sep 10 11:30:47 CEST 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Here's what I get out of sensors: [tguignar at lemapc77 tguignar]$ sensors lm85b-i2c-0-2e Adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at c400 in0: +3.32 V (min = +3.32 V, max = +3.32 V) ALARM in1: +2.99 V (min = +2.99 V, max = +2.99 V) ALARM in2: +4.38 V (min = +4.38 V, max = +4.38 V) ALARM in3: +6.64 V (min = +6.64 V, max = +6.64 V) ALARM in4: +15.94 V (min = +15.94 V, max = +15.94 V) ALARM fan1: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM) ALARM fan2: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM) ALARM fan3: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM) ALARM fan4: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM) ALARM temp1: -1?C (low = -1?C, high = -1?C) ALARM FAULT temp2: -1?C (low = -1?C, high = -1?C) ALARM temp3: -1?C (low = -1?C, high = -1?C) ALARM FAULT pwm1: 255 pwm2: 255 pwm3: 255 vid: +0.275 V (VRM Version 9.1) eeprom-i2c-0-50 Adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at c400 Unknown EEPROM type (255). eeprom-i2c-0-52 Adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at c400 Unknown EEPROM type (255). arp-i2c-0-61 Adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at c400 Here is the output of sensors-detect: [root at lemapc77 lm_sensors-2.9.0]> ./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. 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): Probing for PCI bus adapters... Use driver `i2c-i801' for device 00:1f.3: Intel 82801EB ICH5 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): 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): 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).

(skipping family) Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done. Just press ENTER to continue: Driver `lm85' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * Bus `SMBus I801 adapter at c400' (Non-I2C SMBus adapter) Busdriver `i2c-i801', I2C address 0x2e Chip `National Semiconductor LM85 or LM96000' (confidence: 7) Driver `eeprom' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * Bus `SMBus I801 adapter at c400' (Non-I2C SMBus adapter) Busdriver `i2c-i801', I2C address 0x50 Chip `SPD EEPROM' (confidence: 8) * Bus `SMBus I801 adapter at c400' (Non-I2C SMBus adapter) Busdriver `i2c-i801', I2C address 0x52 Chip `SPD EEPROM' (confidence: 8) Driver `smbus-arp' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * Bus `SMBus I801 adapter at c400' (Non-I2C SMBus adapter) Busdriver `i2c-i801', I2C address 0x61 Chip `SMBus 2.0 ARP-Capable Device' (confidence: 1) Driver `to-be-written' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * ISA bus address 0x06e0 (Busdriver `i2c-isa') Chip `Nat. Semi. PC87372 Super IO Fan Sensors' (confidence: 9) 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)? 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 #----cut here---- To load everything that is needed, add this to some /etc/rc* file: #----cut here---- # I2C adapter drivers modprobe i2c-i801 modprobe i2c-isa # I2C chip drivers modprobe lm85 modprobe eeprom modprobe smbus-arp # no driver for Nat. Semi. PC87372 Super IO Fan Sensors yet # sleep 2 # optional /usr/local/bin/sensors -s # recommended #----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. Do you want to generate /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors? (YES/no): Copy prog/init/lm_sensors.init to /etc/rc.d/init.d/lm_sensors for initialization at boot time. -- Thomas Guignard Laboratoire d'Electromagn?tisme et d'Acoustique Ecole Polytechnique F?d?rale de Lausanne Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne email: thomas.guignard at epfl.ch | EPFL-STI-ITOP-LEMA, ELB, Station 11 tel: ++41 21 693 56 42 | CH-1015 Lausanne, Switzerland fax: ++41 21 693 26 73 | office: ELB 016
