Hi, my system is: Redhat ES 4 kernel 2.6.9-34.Elsmp, Mother board ASUS p5gd2 (bios 1006) with P4 at 3.4Ghz. Sensors: sensors version 2.8.7 with libsensors version 2.8.7 The output of sensors-detect command is: 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): YES Probing for PCI bus adapters... Use driver `i2c-i801' for device 00:1f.3: Intel ICH6 Probe succesfully concluded. We will now try to load each adapter module in turn. Load `i2c-i801' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): YES Module loaded succesfully. 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). Next adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at 0400 (Algorithm unavailable) Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): YES Client found at address 0x08 Client found at address 0x44 Probing for `Maxim MAX6633/MAX6634/MAX6635'... Failed! Client found at address 0x50 Probing for `SPD EEPROM'... Success! (confidence 8, driver `eeprom') Probing for `DDC monitor'... Failed! Probing for `Maxim MAX6900'... Failed! Client found at address 0x69 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): YES Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' Trying address 0x0290... Failed! Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78-J' Trying address 0x0290... Failed! Probing for `National Semiconductor LM79' Trying address 0x0290... Failed! Probing for `Winbond W83781D' Trying address 0x0290... Failed! Probing for `Winbond W83782D' Trying address 0x0290... Failed! Probing for `Winbond W83627HF' Trying address 0x0290... Failed! Probing for `Winbond W83697HF' Trying address 0x0290... Failed! Probing for `Silicon Integrated Systems SIS5595' Trying general detect... Failed! Probing for `VIA Technologies VT82C686 Integrated Sensors' Trying general detect... Failed! Probing for `VIA Technologies VT8231 Integrated Sensors' Trying general detect... Failed! Probing for `ITE IT8705F / IT8712F / SiS 950' Trying address 0x0290... Failed! Probing for `IPMI BMC KCS' Trying address 0x0ca0... Failed! Probing for `IPMI BMC SMIC' Trying address 0x0ca8... Failed! Some Super I/O chips may also contain sensors. Super I/O 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 for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no): YES Probing for `ITE 8702F Super IO Sensors' Failed! (skipping family) Probing for `Nat. Semi. PC87351 Super IO Fan Sensors' Failed! (skipping family) Probing for `SMSC 47B27x Super IO Fan Sensors' Failed! (skipping family) Probing for `VT1211 Super IO Sensors' Failed! (0x88) Probing for `Winbond W83627HF Super IO Sensors' Failed! (0x88) Probing for `Winbond W83627THF Super IO Sensors' Failed! (0x88) Probing for `Winbond W83637HF Super IO Sensors' Failed! (0x88) Probing for `Winbond W83697HF Super IO Sensors' Failed! (0x88) Probing for `Winbond W83697SF/UF Super IO PWM' Failed! (0x88) Probing for `Winbond W83L517D Super IO' Failed! (0x88) Do you want to scan for secondary Super I/O sensors? (YES/no): YES Probing for `ITE 8702F Super IO Sensors' Failed! (skipping family) Probing for `Nat. Semi. PC87351 Super IO Fan Sensors' Failed! (skipping family) Probing for `SMSC 47B27x Super IO Fan Sensors' Failed! (skipping family) Probing for `VT1211 Super IO Sensors' Failed! (skipping family) Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done. Just press ENTER to continue: Driver `eeprom' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * Bus `SMBus I801 adapter at 0400' (Algorithm unavailable) Busdriver `i2c-i801', I2C address 0x50 Chip `SPD EEPROM' (confidence: 8) I will now generate the commands needed to load the I2C modules. Sometimes, a chip is available both through the ISA bus and an I2C bus. ISA bus access is faster, but you need to load an additional driver module for it. If you have the choice, do you want to use the ISA bus or the I2C/SMBus (ISA/smbus)? I2C To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add these lines to /etc/modules.conf: #----cut here---- # I2C module options alias char-major-89 i2c-dev #----cut here---- To load everything that is needed, add this to some /etc/rc* file: #----cut here---- # I2C adapter drivers modprobe i2c-i801 # I2C chip drivers modprobe eeprom # sleep 2 # optional /usr/bin/sensors -s # recommended #----cut here---- WARNING! If you have some things built into your kernel, the list above will contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones! You really should try these commands right now to make sure everything is working properly. Monitoring programs won't work until it's done. Do you want to generate /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors? (YES/no): YES Copy prog/init/lm_sensors.init to /etc/rc.d/init.d/lm_sensors for initialization at boot time. After reboot, if I execute "sensors" I can see: eeprom-i2c-0-50 Adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at 0400 Unknown EEPROM type (8) The command lspci: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 915G/P/GV/GL/PL/910GL Express Memory Controller Hub (rev 04) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 915G/P/GV/GL/PL/910GL Express PCI Express Root Port (rev 04) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 03) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) PCI Express Port 1 (rev 03) 00:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) PCI Express Port 2 (rev 03) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) USB UHCI #1 (rev 03) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) USB UHCI #2 (rev 03) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) USB UHCI #3 (rev 03) 00:1d.3 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) USB UHCI #4 (rev 03) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev d3) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FR (ICH6/ICH6R) LPC Interface Bridge (rev 03) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) IDE Controller (rev 03) 00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801FR/FRW (ICH6R/ICH6RW) SATA Controller (rev 03) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) SMBus Controller (rev 03) 01:04.0 Mass storage controller: Integrated Technology Express, Inc.
