(Sorry about the blank message, let's try it again...) Greetings to all. We've got some compute nodes here that are using Supermicro X6DHR motherboards (for the Intel Nocona processors), which use the Winbond W83792D hardware monitor chip. Since the OS installed on these is SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 (kernel 2.6.5), I had to upgrade lm_sensors to 2.9.1 and apply a kernel patch (the one recently posted to this list) to get the right chip driver into the system. I'm able to get temperature, fan, and voltage readings out of the chip, so it's all good there. However, another strange issue has cropped up: during the system boot process, as soon as the "sensors" service loads, the "overtemperature" LED on the front panel begins flashing. I've tried mucking around with the "set tempN_over" and "set tempN_hyst" lines in sensors.conf, but to no avail; the last settings I tried were 70 for over and 30 for hyst, and the light still blinks. Naturally, if we ship the nodes like this, the customer might get worried, seeing all those blinking red lights. So, anybody have any ideas, short of taking a pair of diagonal cutters to the leads for the temperature light? Is that light somehow connected to one of the outputs of the W83792D, and if so, is there some kind of "magic poke" I can make to the chip registers to get it to quit flashing? (Maybe this is a driver issue?) Or have I just not been aggressive enough in how I changed the temperature bounds in sensors.conf? Thanks in advance. -- Eric J.
