This is only the 2nd time I've had to get lm_sensors to work so I may ask some dumb questions. I installed a new Gigabyte GA-K8VM800M board with an AMD Sempron 2800+ processor. After some false starts I finally got the correct kernel modules installed and loaded. Sensors is working, however I'm having problems with the the following: Mboard temp jumps all over the place: Temp1/MB: +45?F (low = +261?F, high = +104?F) sensor = thermistor Temp1/MB: +81?F (low = +261?F, high = +104?F) sensor = thermistor ALARM Some voltages aren't right either I suspect: +3.3V: +6.78 V (min = +3.14 V, max = +3.46 V) ALARM +5V: +4.01 V (min = +4.76 V, max = +5.24 V) ALARM +12V: +12.35 V (min = +11.39 V, max = +12.61 V) -12V: -7.72 V (min = -12.63 V, max = -11.41 V) ALARM -5V: -4.77 V (min = -5.26 V, max = -4.77 V) ALARM I also noticed that when loading sensord that three lines in /etc/sensors.conf are bad: # Important - if your temperature readings are completely whacky # you probably need to change the sensor type. This must be done # with 'modprobe it87 temp_type=0xXX', you can't fix it in this file. # See ../doc/chips/it87 for details and valid 'XX' values!!! # ? ? label temp1 ? ? ? "Temp1/MB" ? ? set ? temp1_over ?40 ? ? set ? temp1_hyst ?20 <----------------line 1194 ? ? label temp2 ? ? ? "Temp2/CPU" ? ? set ? temp2_over ?45 ? ? set ? temp2_hyst ?25 <----------------line 1197 # ? ignore temp3 ? ? label temp3 ? ? ? "Temp3" ? ? set ? temp3_over ?45 ? ? set ? temp3_hyst ?25 <----------------line 1201 I read through the docs on the it87 chip, but I'm really not sure what to place on the modprobe it87 temp_type= line. As far as I can tell I have all the correct modules loaded: i2c-isa ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 1600 ?0 it87 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 20332 ?0 i2c-sensor ? ? ? ? ? ? ?2240 ?1 it87 i2c-viapro ? ? ? ? ? ? ?5900 ?0 i2c-dev ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 7616 ?0 i2c-core ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 19060 ?5 i2c-isa,it87,i2c-sensor,i2c-viapro,i2c-dev This is on a Mandrive 10.1 Official release with kernel 2.6.
