And perhaps this is the problem. I am loading these modules: modprobe ipmi_msghandler modprobe ipmi_si type=kcs ports=0xca8 regspacings=4 modprobe ipmi_devintf Perhaps they interfere with the i2c functionality needed by lm_sensors. Thanks very much for your help with this! Cheers, Bruce -------------- next part -------------- # sensors-detect revision 1.413 (2006/01/19 20:28:00) 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-piix4' for device 00:02.0: ServerWorks CSB6 South Bridge Probe succesfully concluded. We will now try to load each adapter module in turn. Module `i2c-piix4' already loaded. 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 already loaded. 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). Some chips are also accessible through the ISA bus. ISA probes are typically a bit more dangerous, as we have to write to I/O ports to do this. This is usually safe though. Do you want to scan the ISA bus? (YES/no): Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' Trying address 0x0290... Failed! Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78-J' Trying address 0x0290... Failed!

Either your sensors are not supported, or they are connected to an I2C bus adapter that we do not support. See doc/FAQ, doc/lm_sensors-FAQ.html, or http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/cvs/lm_sensors2/doc/lm_sensors-FAQ.html (FAQ #4.24.3) for further information. If you find out what chips are on your board, see http://secure.netroedge.com/~lm78/newdrivers.html for driver status.
