That's right. However, it found an SMSC Super-I/O chip (LPC47B397-NC), which is known to have a temperature and fan monitoring unit. We have a preliminary linux 2.6 driver for it. The bad news is that there is no datasheet for it. It's not even listed om SMSC's site. The rumor says that it was a custom command from HP/Compaq. Could you please try to locate the chip on the board, and confirm the part number? > The manual states that the temperature monitoring chip is a LM95221 > connected to the LPC Super I/O Chip. I could not find this on the MB. There is no trace of it in your logs. However, what we support on your board are the SMBus of the nForce chips. The Tyan docs would suggest that the LM95221 is connected to the Super-I/O directly, supposedly through a different SMBus (or possibly Access.bus, but that's the same). The LM95221 is a really small thing. 8 pins only. You could have missed it easily. > If there is anything else I can run to give you more information let me > know. Output of lspci, please. Just in case. Note that, even with the SMSC Super-I/O chip and the LM95221, you'd only have temperatures and fans monitored. The Tyan docs mention voltage monitoring, so there has to be yet another chip somewhere. This could explain why the hardware monitoring unit of your SMSC Super-I/O chip is disabled. -- Jean Delvare
