Dear listmembers, I am using several Tyan Tiger 2460 motherboards since quite a while. And I am observing a strange behaviour someone in the list (might) have a clue about. I am reading the sensors data periodically every 10 seconds. After an undefined time (maybe one week, maybe one day, maybe three weeks) sensors "hangs" after start and cannot be killed any more. A manual call to sensors ends in a hang as well (of sensors, the board is running on). What is my configuration: I am loading MODULE_0=i2c-amd756 MODULE_1=i2c-isa MODULE_2=w83781d MODULE_3=eeprom MODULE_4=w83627hf (in this sequence). By recommendation from Tyan I use the line: options w83781d force_w83782d=0,0x2d force_subclients=0,0x2d,0x48,0x49 force_w83627hf=0,0x2c force_subclients=0,0x2c,0x4a,0x4b init=0 in /etc/modprobe.conf.local I have a script watchtemp that is started at boot that calls sensors every 10 seconds; at boot it is called once with the parameter DAEMON, later on only once with watchtemp what gives me a temperature display on the screen. If someone finds the time to look into it and may give me a hint - greatly appreciated. I cannot force the behaviour described above - it just happens to occur after a while. Besides the many "SuSEisms" in the script it (might) be useful for someone because it is very simple. If of interest I could provide a rpm / srpm for SuSE installing all the required components at the right places. I am using sensors version 2.10.0 with libsensors version 2.10.0 on SuSE 9.3 SMP. Many thanks for your efforts in advance, take care Dieter Jurzitza -- ----------------------------------------------------------- | \ /\_/\ | | ~x~ |/-----\ / \ /- \_/ ^^__ _ / _ ____ / <??__ \- \_/ | |/ | | || || _| _| _| _| if you really want to see the pictures above - use some font with constant spacing like courier! :-) ----------------------------------------------------------- -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
